Woman’s death ‘extraordinary and unusual’

THE family of a woman whose body was found suspended from railings has called for a criminal investigation into her death to be re-opened after an inquest jury returned an open verdict.

Yesterday, the Limerick city coroner said the circumstances of the death of Margaret Collins were extraordinary and very unusual.

Ms Collins, aged 44, from Hyde Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston, was found dead in a standing position with the back of her coat caught on railings at Pery Square, in Limerick city centre, on the night of November 19, 2002.
