A post mortem is due to be carried out today on the torso of a man's body that was recovered in the sea off the coast of Co Mayo last night.

It was found in shallow water off Knockshambo near Erris Head at around 8.30 pm.

A formal identification of the body has yet to be made.

However, it is believed to be that of a Latvian mushroom worker who was swept into the sea off a pier while fishing two months ago.
