Gardaí are to prepare a file for the Coroners Court following the discovery of the body of a woman who may have been deceased for 18 months in her home in a Cork City suburb. Ms O’Mahony’s body was discovered by a man working for a pest control firm who was called to deal with vermin at a nearby house and he traced the source to Ms O’Mahony’s home. He spotted Ms O’Mahony’s body in a downstairs back room and immediately contacted the emergency services. Ms O’Mahony’s body was removed to the morgue at Cork University Hospital where Assistant State Pathologist, Dr Margot Bolster, is due to carry out a postmortem on Wednesday morning. Gardaí hope to examine Ms O’Mahony’s bank and phone records to see if they can find any activity that would indicate Ms O’Mahony was alive after November 2022.
