Gardai are treating the deaths of two elderly brothers at their home in Dublin as a tragic incident.

The bodies of William and Daniel McCarthy, who were in their 70s and were both deaf, were found at the house at Millrose Estate in Bluebell yesterday.

Newspaper reports suggest one of the men had died some time ago, and the other more recently.

Foul play isn't suspected, and post mortems will take place on the brothers' remains later today.
