Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a man, who was found lying face down at a Croal Street building yesterday.
The man, who has since been identified by his alias “Ram,” is a well known security guard of a popular city store.
The discovery was made at around 10:00hrs by persons dwelling on the pavements, nearby.
Initial reports suggested that the man had suffered a broken neck but this could not be immediately confirmed.
