Gardaí have cordoned off the scene and Garda technical experts are due to carry out a forensic examination of the house on Thursday for DNA evidence to help them try to establish what happened.
They have also begun harvesting CCTV footage from the Glenwood estate and around the town to try to establish who was in the house when the man was assaulted and who may have been with him earlier in the day.
