Sgt Letessier said. “We are trying to establish the movements of the man and are keen to speak to anyone that observed him at the party or spoke to him. Anything would be of value to us. We are appealing for any information. At this stage we are preparing a report for the Coroner. “It’s important we speak to everyone we can because there are a lot of unknowns around this.” Police have visited the venue this week as part of their ongoing investigation.
