Post mortem to take place after woman found dead in Castleknock house

Gardai were last night awaiting post-mortem results after a woman was found dead at the bottom of the stairs in her home.

Investigators say the results of the examination taking place at Dublin City Mortuary yesterday would determine the direction of the probe. But sources said foul play could not be ruled out following the discovery at a house in Carpenterstown, Dublin, yesterday at around 10am.

One source said: “Gardai just don’t know yet how she died and are a bit suspicious about it. But they will know one way or another when they get the results.”
