Body found hanging in hospital grounds

The body of a 34-year-old man was hanging from a tree for over three weeks at a Northern Ireland hospital, it has been revealed.

The man, originally from Poland, was found in the grounds of Craigavon Area Hospital, County Armagh, ten days ago.

It is understood he had been treated at the hospital and left on 26 March. His body was found in a heavily shrubbed area at the rear of the complex. Detectives, however, are not treating the death as suspicious.

A police spokesperson confirmed the body of a man “was discovered around noon in the grounds of Craigavon Area Hospital on Friday 20 April.”

He was reported missing on 11 April.
