“My deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the man at this difficult time."
The DUP's Paul Girvan said: “This is very sad news and my heart goes out to the family and loved ones of the young man who has tragically lost his life.
The South Antrim MLA appealed for any witnesses to speak to the PSNI.”
