Golf ball found in dead man’s throat

GARDAÍ are investigating reports that a golf ball was found lodged in the throat of a dead man.

The man, understood to be a businessman from the Dublin area, died suddenly in his home last month, after which a postmortem exam was carried out on behalf of the Dublin Coroner’s Office at St James’s Hospital.

The man’s body was released to a funeral home in Dublin, but during preparations for burial it is alleged that a golf ball was found lodged in the man’s throat.
