Hardman dies after fall from wheelie bin

A former heavyweight boxer and reputed crimeland hardman was found dead at his West Cork home yesterday after a domestic accident.

Billy Isaac, jailed by a local district court last month for assaulting a waitress who had alleged disrespected him, is understood to have fallen off a wheelie bin as he attempted to get into a window in his house, known as Ratsville.

Gardaí said an investigation is at a preliminary stage but strongly indicated the death was not suspicious.
