Written by Newswire Editor on December 10th, 2009 at 22:06

An investigation has been launched following the discovery of a body in a burnt-out caravan Thursday night.

It’s understood emergency services were called to the rear of a house at Crecora Avenue in Weston after receiving reports of a Caravan fire around 8pm. Fire officers fought the blaze and a body of a man in his fifties was subsequently found inside. There were no other injuries as a result.

The area has been cordoned off and a full technical examination of the scene is expected to take place. Investigators believe they know the victims identity.

“At this stage Gardai are treating the incident as a tragic accident,” a Garda spokesperson said.
