Body of Kerry victim of Christchurch earthquake found

THE body of a Kerry man killed in last month’s devastating earthquake in Christchurch has finally been found and identified.

JJ O’Connor, 40, a native of Lisereen, Abbeydorney, had been missing since the 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit New Zealand’s second-biggest city on February 22.

The father of one was working on the first floor of the Pyne Gould Guinness building at lunchtime when it collapsed.
