Teacher may have hit his head off side of pool

A FOOTBALLER who drowned in a swimming accident at the school where he taught may have hit his head off the side of the pool while diving in.

A postmortem examination was carried out yesterday on the body of John Locke O’Sullivan, 26, who was found floating in the swimming pool at Coláiste an Phairsaigh in Glanmire, Co Cork.

Mr O’Sullivan, who came from the village of Adrigole in West Cork, was due to play in the Cork County junior football final next Sunday. His devastated club have asked for the final to be postponed for two weeks.
