Teenage mother died after consuming drugs

A TEENAGE mother-of-one whose naked body was discovered at a derelict house in Co Kildare, died after consuming drugs, an inquest heard yesterday.

The badly decomposed body of Lynette McKeown, aged 19, from Dublin’s Tallaght, was found in Eadestown on August 21, 2004, eight days after her family reported her missing.

Dr Declan Gilsenan, assistant state pathologist, said that, as he arrived at the scene, he saw “the body of a young woman naked apart from a plastic bag around the lower parts of her leg.”
