Dean, who was the brother of missing teenager Amy Fitzpatrick - died at Beaumont hospital after he was found slumped outside an apartment block at Northern Cross on May 25th - gardaí believe he'd been involved in a scuffle.

The suspect - he was understood to have been questioned for the first time in the inquiry - was being detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

Shortly after his death, Dean's stepfather presented himself at a local Garda station to give a statement. He was later released without charge.

Dean's little sister Amy went missing in Spain 5 years ago and has never been found.
