Mystery surrounds the sudden death of a 46-year-old man, found in his Pembroke home on Monday.

The man was found in an unresponsive state in his Berkeley Road home at 6 p.m. and was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police are not giving out any more information as the next of kin have yet to be informed, although they are refusing to rule out foul play at this stage.

A tourist was startled by an intruder going through her belongings.

The woman screamed as she awoke at 5.20 a.m. yesterday to find the thief in her Rosemont Avenue apartment.

He then jumped out the window and fled down the road ? but not before he had stolen a black Chanel bag and an undisclosed amount of money.
