Ombudsman awaits results of postmortem

THE Garda Ombudsman is awaiting the results of a postmortem after a man died following a house raid by drugs squad detectives.

Assistant State pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster carried out the examination yesterday afternoon on the body of David O’Mahony, aged 22, from Glenamoy Lawn, Mayfield on the northside of the city, to establish the exact cause of his death.

The autopsy will establish whether Mr O’Mahony died as a result of ingestion of a substance, or as a result of possible force or restraining actions used during the search.
