Probe into customer’s death at store

THE death of a customer at a DIY store in Dublin at the weekend is being treated as a tragic accident but the circumstances are still being probed.

The Health & Safety Authority (HSA) and gardaí are investigating the incident on Sunday afternoon. It is believed the 59-year-old man may have been hit by a falling item, possibly a pallet, but this could not be confirmed yesterday.

A HSA spokesperson said it was alerted by emergency services to a fatal accident at the store and its inspectors arrived shortly after. Details of the man’s identity or where he was from were not available last night.
