Gardaí treat UCC student’s death as a tragic accident

GARDAÍ are treating as a tragic accident the death of a student whose body was found in Cork city yesterday, five days after he was reported missing.

A postmortem will be performed on the body of Caolan Mulrooney, 18, from Rochestown, Cork, at Cork University Hospital (CUH) this morning.

Supt Barry McPolin, who had coordinated the search for the UCC engineering student since last Friday, declined to comment in detail until the postmortem is complete.
