Police tape blocked the entrance to Eden Pl on Sunday morning, and a police car was parked at the entrance of one of the homes.
One local was out for an evening walk on Saturday when he came across the police cordon.
“What’s going on?” He asked. He hadn’t heard any sirens or commotion.
When he was told someone had died, he said: “That’s no good at all. Very sad.”
Police have blocked off the entrance to the short cul-de-sac.
Several officers can be seen in the street and detectives have arrived on the scene.
