Gardaí found baby dead in upstairs toilet

Gardaí found the body of a newborn baby boy in the toilet of a house in Cork City last summer.

The harrowing details emerged at Cork City coroner’s court yesterday as Dr Myra Cullinane opened an inquest into the death of Sean Patrick Magee.

The baby was pronounced dead in the upstairs bathroom of a house in the Deerpark area on Jul 29, 2013. Gardaí immediately launched an investigation into the circumstances of the death.
