Young Irishman dies after fall in historic public park in Croatia

A 20-year-old Irishman has died following a fall in the Croatian city of Zadar.

According to local media, the young man died after falling from an ancient wall in the surrounds of the Queen Jelena Madijevka Gardens in the early hours of Thursday morning. Local newspaper, IndexHR, report that officers from the Zadar police department responded to the scene at around 4.45am and discovered the man's body.

Police suspect the man's death was caused from a fall from the ramparts in the park but the County State Attorney's Office in Zadar was informed about the event and an autopsy is being carried out to determine the exact cause of death. A rampart is a defensive wall of a castle or walled city, having a broad top with a walkway and typically a stone parapet.
