A man has died suddenly in the Cookstown area on Saturday.

Police say they attended the scene of the sudden death of a man in the Coolnafranky Park area.

A post mortem examination will be carried out in due course, however, the death is not being treated as suspicious at this time.

It's believed drugs are one line of enquiries.

MLA for Mid-Ulster Patsy McGlone said "Another drug-related death in Cookstown area and my sincerest sympathies to the family".

It follows the recent death of 34 year old May Hay in Moneymore who died two weeks ago in a drugs related death.
