Minister to study report into man’s death in garda cell

JUSTICE MINISTER Michael McDowell yesterday said he was examining an internal garda report into the death of a young man found hanging in a garda cell.

However, Mr McDowell said that, on the basis of preliminary reports he had read, there wasn’t any basis to claims of third party involvement in the death of Terence Wheelock.

The 20-year-old was found hanging in a cell in Store Street Garda Station on June 2, 2005.
