Boy, 5, and teenager drown in separate tragedies

Dublin’s Blanchardstown and Tyrrelstown areas were left reeling after the tragic death yesterday morning of five-year-old Ahmed Bari, who drowned in the lake in Tyrrelstown Park after wandering away from his home nearby.

It is not clear how the little boy, who had autism, made his way to the lake alone. He was reported missing from his home at about 9.15am, sparking a massive search, but he was found by a walker face- down in the water about an hour later.
