Investigations continue into Cork death
Investigations are continuing into the circumstances surrounding the death of a 31 year-old man, whose car was discovered in the River Lee in Cork on Christmas Eve.
In what appears to be a related incident, a mother of two, also aged 31, remains critical in hospital after she sustained serious head injuries in an assault at a house in Ballyleary, outside Cobh.
She was found in the garage of a bungalow.
Gardaí in Cork say a man fled the scene in a car.
A man's body was discovered in a car, hours later, submerged in the River Lee.
A post mortem examination is due to be carried out today.
Gardaí have ruled out foul play in his death.
