Naas man found dead on Dublin street over weekend not homeless

A young Naas man  found dead on the streets of Dublin last weekend was not homeless as previously thought.

Sources indicate that 30-year-old Jed Eddison hailed from a 'comfortable' background.

He had been transported to the city by his mother, from his Wicklow home, on the night he died. It is believed that he had planned to meet up with friends and go socialising.

His body was found by a Starbucks staff member, on Westmoreland St.  The Irish Times reports that it was initially assumed that Mr Eddison was homeless, but city centre Gardai had expressed surprise that they had not encountered him before.
