Autopsy on tourist killed on beach

A POSTMORTEM was being carried out yesterday on the body of an American female tourist who was killed on the beach at Inch in Dingle bay on Saturday morning.

The woman, named as Gena Hill, 59, and from Kentucky, was part of a group on their way for a day tour to Dingle and had stopped at Inch, a popular surfing spot because of the strength of its waves.

Ms Hill was standing on the strand at the edge of the water shortly after 10am when struck by a truck used to transport surfing equipment.
