They added that the Health and Safety Executive has been informed, but they could not be reached at time of writing.

SDLP councillor for the Banbridge area Seamus Doyle, who lives about a mile-and-a-half from the scene, said he had heard that the victim was a young man from the south Armagh area, and that he had died during some kind of building work.
