Foul play ruled out in death of grandmother

Gardaí have ruled out foul play in the death of Peggy Mangan, the grandmother whose body was found at the weekend, four days after she went missing while out walking her dog.

The exact cause of her death will not be revealed, however, until after a full report is completed from a postmortem carried out yesterday.

Her remains were found on Saturday morning in a field near Ballymun on the northside of Dublin City, some distance from her home on the southside, as hundreds of volunteers were preparing to resume a search for her.
