Gardaí suspect that the body found off the coast of Donegal is that of a missing man who vanished over a week earlier - when a report was made that he was thrown from a cliff.
As a post-mortem examination following the discovery at Slieve League yesterday morning is set to take place, DNA is being used as part of the identification process.
Although it has yet to be confirmed, cops believe it is a man in his 60s who is originally from up north and who had vanished on the weekend of June 25 and 26.
