The cyclist who was found dead at the side of the road near Milltown died of natural causes.

He has been named locally as Stephen Justie, originally from Northern Ireland but had been living in the area for many years.
Mr Justie was found, in an unresponsive state on the roadside near Rushen on Tuesday morning.

Gardaí are continuing to appeal for witnesses following the discovery.

Gardaí and Emergency Services were alerted and the cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
His body was moved to the mortuary at University Hospital Kerry and the local Coroner notified.

Results of a post-mortem examination will determine the course of the Garda investigation.

The road was closed for a time to allow for a technical examination by Forensic Collision Investigators but has since reopened.
Gardaí are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

“Any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling between 10am and 10.40am on any local routes around Ardywanig, Milltown, are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí. This road is a minor road from the junction off the main Castlemaine to Firies Road (R561) at Rushen on towards Ardywanig,” said a Garda spokesperson.
