Boy, 3, dies in freak accident

THREE separate investigations have begun into what appears to have been a freak accident that claimed the life of a three-year-old boy at Drogheda Port yesterday.

The family of the youngster, who was from the nearby coastal village of Clogherhead, was distraught last night.

The accident happened about noon at the town quays section of the port. The boy was there in the company of an adult.
