IOPC Regional Director, Catherine Bates, said: "Our thoughts are with the man’s family and loved ones, as well as all those affected by his death. Our investigation will be thorough and carried out independently of the police to understand the circumstances that led to this tragic incident.
"We have been in touch with the man’s family to explain our role and will keep them updated as the investigation progresses."
