A police spokesman said the man was found in a field near his farmhouse in the Upper Tully area of Kinawley on Wednesday morning.

He was reported missing just after midnight on Tuesday by a concerned neighbour who had not seen him for several days.

A search was carried out by police officers with the aid of fire service during the night, using thermal imaging equipment.

Nothing was found as a result of the overnight search. The man's body was found in the morning when a police helicopter was brought in.

"At around 10.15am, police on the ground found the man deceased in a field near his home," the PSNI spokesman said.
