The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has launched an investigation after a man's body was discovered in the North Antrim area. The deceased has been identified as Brian Thompson, though authorities have not yet disclosed the circumstances surrounding his death.
Colin, a local representative from Stormont, described the incident as "deeply shocking" for the community. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased during this difficult time," he stated.
PSNI officers remain at the scene as forensic examinations continue. While the death is currently being treated as unexplained, police have assured the public that there is no immediate cause for alarm.
Authorities are appealing to anyone with information about the incident to come forward. "We're particularly interested in speaking to anyone who may have seen unusual activity in the area over the past 48 hours," a police spokesperson said.
The investigation marks another challenging case for Northern Ireland's police force, which has faced increased scrutiny in recent months over its handling of sensitive incidents.
