PSNI Investigate Sudden Death In Belfast

Police are investigating the sudden death of a man in west Belfast.

Kevin Doherty, 30, was taken to hospital from a property in the Ross Street area, close to the Falls Road, on Tuesday.

He died shortly after.

It is understood he was at party in the area at the time.

Two other men who are believed to have attended the same party were treated in hospital.

Police are awaiting the results of a post-mortem and toxicology reports, and it is not known whether drugs or alcohol are linked to the death.

The police added the representatives that investigations into the death were ongoing and at an early stage therefore it would be inappropriate to comment further.
