Police Probe Glenshane Body Find
Police are investigating the discovery of a man's body on the Glenshane Pass.
The find was made this morning at around 11am close to the Ponderosa bar, which is claimed to be Ireland's highest at over 1,000ft.
Police, who are investigating the circumstances of the find, said that a post mortem is to be carried out to establish the cause of the man's death.
The location is on the main road between Belfast and Londonderry and is known for the beautiful scenery of Glenshane.
The Ponderosa is written of in numerous books, including the award-winning novel Harry's Game by Gerald Seymour.
The bar began life as a little farmhouse nestling in idyllic surroundings at the highest point on the mountain road between Belfast and Derry.
