THE teenager whose body was found in a field in Galway, after he perished to death, will be laid to rest tomorrow.

Cian Comerford, aged 16, from Clybaun Road, Galway, is believed to have died of hypothermia after getting into difficulty on his way home from a party in a friend’s house in Menlo on the east of the city on Saturday night.

It is believed he left the party some time after midnight and was due to be collected by a family member. It is understood Cian may have died after wading through wet ground and either taking a tumble or falling asleep on a very cold night.
