It is understood the death is considered to be a personal tragedy by gardaí, and the investigation was closed.

The young man’s family were holidaying abroad in Spain when they were informed of the news of Mr Clancy’s death.

It is believed his body was found by a relative in an upstairs bedroom and that he had sustained a wound to his chest. Initially gardaí were treating the incident as suspicious, pending the results of the postmortem examination.

It is understood the young man was an apprentice plumber and lived with his mother, his brother and his mother’s partner. He was a past pupil of the nearby boys secondary school Coláiste Phádraig CBS.
