The man's body was discovered in a park in Tallaght in west Dublin
Gardaí (Irish police) say they have launched a murder investigation after the body of a man was discovered in a park in Dublin.
The body of 23-year-old Adam Muldoon was found at about 06:30 BST on Saturday at Butler Park in Tallaght.
His remains were found by a local resident who was walking a dog in the area.
Gardaí have appealed for anyone who was in the park on Friday evening or early on Saturday morning to contact them.
Superintendent Ian Lackey of Tallaght Garda Station said that officers believed the man "may have been sleeping rough in the general area from time to time".
A murder investigation was launched by Gardaí on Saturday evening following the results of a post mortem carried out by the assistant State Pathologist.
The scene of the incident remains sealed off and a full forensic examination has been carried out by officers from the Garda Technical Bureau.
Searches at the site are continuing and an incident room has been established at Tallaght Garda Station.
