Tears for the tragic death of a ‘gentle, caring, fun-loving’ girl

CHILDREN wept in a school yesterday for the little friend tragically taken from them in a freak accident.

Six-year-old Paige Corcoran from Springfort Meadow, Nenagh, was badly injured when she was accidentally hit on the head by a metal golf putter. She was playing on an open green area near her cousin’s home at Carrig Rua on the outskirts of the town with her only sister and a younger cousin. The accident happened at about midday.

After being rushed to the local general hospital, Paige was later transferred to the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick where she was put on a life support machine.
