Gardaí are continuing to investigate what led to the death of a man, whose body was found in a flat in Dublin city on Monday.
It's believed the remains of 28-year-old Tony Dempsey lay on the ground of the property at Kevin Barry House on Coleraine Street for a week after he was the victim of a violent assault.
A murder investigation is under way and Gardaí are appealing for information.
Local councillor Christy Burke says it's believed the flat was being used as a drug den.
"There were comings and goings, there was drinking and drug use.
"The fact that Mr Dempsey's body was left decomposing for possibly a week is heart breaking that it was left in that condition, while there were people coming and going in the flat and doing whatever they do."
