A man attending a horse racing festival died after being emptied into a bin lorry, Irish police have said.
The body of Declan Power, 32, from Bunmahon in County Waterford, was found at a waste sorting facility near Listowel, County Kerry on Friday.
Irish police said they believe Mr Power fell asleep in a large wheeled bin, later emptied into a bin lorry.
The results of a post mortem examination said he sustained fatal injuries in the back of the truck.
Police are treating the death of the father-of-one as a tragic accident.
The week-long Harvest Horse Racing Festival, now in its 151st year, draws large crowds to Listowel.
The town's deputy mayor, Anthony Curtin, said that local people had been shocked at the death.
"This young man came to Listowel to enjoy himself," he told the Irish Times.
"We are shocked here in Listowel and we offer our sympathies to his relatives and we are sorry this happened."
