A woman was seriously injured after what gardaí have described as a 'domestic incident' in Dublin early this morning in which a man died.
The Lithuanian man, 33, was taken to the Mater hospital with serious injuries after gardaí were called to The Hamptons at Santry Cross, Dublin 9.
He died a short time later and it is understood he fell from the fifth storey of the apartment complex onto a parked car below.
The vehicle remained parked outside the flat complex this afternoon with a shattered front windscreen.
His 30-year-old wife, who is also Lithuanian, is being treated at the Mater for injuries sustained prior to the man's fall.
