A post-mortem is to be carried out on the body of a 42year-old Englishman found naked in a wooded area near Allihies in west Cork early yesterday. Gardai said they did not suspect foul play. The man, who is believed to have been on a Buddhist retreat, is understood to have arrived at a local hostel early last week.
The British embassy was last night attempting to contact his family. His body was found beside a hut in the grounds of the hostel at 6 a.m. yesterday. Gardai said cuts were found on the back of his arms.
