Four die in series of tragic weekend accidents

FOUR people died in a series of tragic incidents at the weekend.

Danny Gallagher, 47, a father of five from Co Donegal, was killed when felling a tree on Saturday, to allow more light into his brother’s home outside Termon village.

It appears the 25ft palm tree changed direction when falling and Mr Gallagher, who worked for the ESB, was caught by its top branches as he tried to escape.
