A MAN who died in a suspected hit and run incident in Co Donegal yesterday was former Army chef Eunan McDevitt.
The 47-year-old father of two, who had been based at Finner, was found lying at the side of the N15 near Ballyshannon at 00:40 yesterday morning.
A post mortem was carried out by State Pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy last night.
Gardai believe Mr McDevitt, from Ballybofey, was hit by a vehicle which then left the scene.
Forensic experts are understood to have gathered vital evidence at the scene which may help identify the vehicle involved.
The scene remained closed off for most of yesterday.
Superintendent Leo McGinn has issued a public appeal for witnesses to come forward.
