Gardaí prepare file on fire death

GARDAÍ are to prepare a file for the Cork city coroner after a man who jumped nearly 50ft to escape a blaze in a block of flats died from his injuries.

Kevin Kiely, a 35-year-old from Ballagh, Co Limerick died in Cork University Hospital on Sunday night.

He was one of four people who were forced to jump when the block of flats at North Mall went up in flames early last Thursday.
