Body Found Near Lake Not Yet Identified
Gardaí are working to identify a man whose body was found on the banks of a lake in Cavan yesterday.
The remains were discovered near an area being searched for a missing Dublin man.
37-year-old Joseph Whelan went missing in the early hours of Easter Saturday the 4th of April.
He'd traveled from his home in Brindly Park, Ashbourne County Meath to Virginia County Cavan.
His pregnant wife raised the alarm after he failed to return.
As part of a missing persons hunt the last place that Mr Whelan was seen had been narrowed down to an area around Lough Ramor.
At around midday yesterday a body was found there on the shores of the lake.
Detectives still can't confirm if the remains are definitely those of Joseph Whelan or indeed what the cause of death could have been.
But a post-mortem is due to be conducted today which will move them a step closer to finding out.
