A teenager has died after falling from the roof of an apartment building in Co Donegal in the early hours of this morning in what gardaí have described as a "tragic accident".

The 17-year-old, who is believed to be from Dublin, was with a group of friends who returned home at about 2.30am to find the door locked at the holiday apartment they were staying in on Station Road in Bundoran.

The youth climbed onto the roof of the apartment building in an attempt to gain access to the apartment but slipped and fell.

An ambulance was called to the scene and the young man was pronounced dead at about 3.20am.
