A 21-year-old man discovered injured outside a house in Co Mayo last August died of blunt force trauma to the head. He was brought to Mayo University Hospital by ambulance and later transferred to Beaumont Hospital. The man’s mother Alison Thebald, also from the UK, formally identified her son’s body at Beaumont Hospital to Garda Brian O’Shea of Santry garda station. Garda O’Shea said he met a nurse in the hospital who informed him the young man had been transferred from Mayo General Hospital. Inspector Paudie O’Shea from Claremorris Garda Station applied for a six-month adjournment of the inquest as investigations into the death are continuing.
