A PSNI spokeswoman said that a post mortem will be carried out in due course to establish the cause of death but that, at this stage, the death is not being treated as suspicious.

The Kells family have been informed.

PSNI put out an appeal for Mr Kells, who has links to the Fivemiletown area, two days ago.
