A young man, understood to be from Longford, has died in New York.
The 22-year-old was found unconscious and unresponsive outside a building on Gates Avenue in Brooklyn by NYPD officers responding to a 911 call.
He was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
The NYPD said it appears the death was accidental and it's understood the man may have fallen from a building.
He is believed to have spent the summer working in Canada before travelling to New York.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is providing consular assistance to the man's family.
