Keane death probe continues

GARDAÍ are continuing to investigate “the full circumstances” of the death of Chief Justice Ronan Keane’s only son, Timothy.

The dead man's mother, former Sunday Independent social diarist Terry Keane, returned from her villa in the south of France with her journalist daughter Madeleine on learning of the tragedy.

Friends of the Keane family said the judge's estranged wife, who survived a battle with cancer in recent years, was distraught with grief.
