Community ‘dumbfounded’ after toddler’s death

The tight-knit community of Rindoon Park and Hazelwood in Athlone was last night coming to terms with the tragic drowning of two-year-old Liam Keogh.

The toddler drowned in a pool of water after following his dog onto an unfinished estate a few hundred metres from his home at Hazelwood on Thursday.

Floral tributes adorned the wire mesh fence Liam is understood to have passed through on his way to the Glenatore Development where he was found. “Sleep well Liam in the arms of angels,” one card reads.
