An investigation is under way after an elderly couple were found dead in their home on the outskirts of Kilkenny city.
The cause of the couple’s deaths has not been established.
However, carbon monoxide poisoning is being examined as one possible factor.
They have been named locally as Michael Hurley and his partner Mary Holohan.
It is understood that their bodies were discovered by family members last night.
However, it is believed that the bodies may have been at the house on the Johnswell Road for a number of days.
The bodies have been removed to Waterford Regional Hospital, where post-mortem examinations will take place tomorrow.
