The results of a pending post mortem on a body found off cliffs at Slieve League in Co Donegal will decide if Gardai are to launch a murder enquiry.
A week after Gardai initially launched a search following reports that a man had been seriously assaulted, a body was found in the water off the well-known tourist area just after 4am on Monday.
The body was recovered by Gardai with the assistance of the Irish Coast Guard.
The remains were taken to Letterkenny University Hospital after 8am and the State Pathologist's office was informed of the discovery.
