‘Bone detective’ to try to identify body

A “BONE detective” is being drafted in to help gardaí identify the remains of a man that were recovered off the Cliffs of Moher over one year ago.

The remains lie in a freezer at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick as gardaí and the Clare county coroner continue their efforts to have the man’s identity confirmed.

Coroner Isobel O’Dea confirmed yesterday that her office has sent scans of the remains through to Caroline Wilkinson, professor of craniofacial identification at the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification at the University of Dundee in Scotland.
