The body of a man found dead in Co. Clare 40 years ago is to be exhumed today.
23 year old Patrick Nugent was working at Bunratty Folk Park when he died there in unexplained circumstances.
This exhumation comes two years after Gardaí launched a cold case review into the death of Patrick Nugent.
The 23-year-old was a banquet manager at Bunratty Castle & Folk Park and was working at a 40th wedding anniversary on February 11th 1984.
His body was found with serious injuries outside at 4am.
A man was charged with manslaughter but acquitted.
Patrick's family always believe he died violently and his death wasn't investigated properly.
Gardaí are holding a press conference this morning and his remains are set to be exhumed.
