Three investigations into man’s pylon death

THREE separate investigations are under way to establish how a young man, who died after receiving a shock while climbing an ESB pylon, was able to scale the structure.

Donncadha O’Flynn, aged 20, from Greenhills Court in Douglas, Cork, will be buried today after 11am funeral Mass in Christ the King Church in Turners Cross.

He was electrocuted while apparently climbing the high-voltage pylon near his home off the South Douglas Road at about 11pm on Friday night.
