A vulnerable recluse who shunned help to live life he wanted
Cork City Coroner’s Court was told that Gussie lived alone in an unkempt, mid-terrace, two-storey home on Templeacre Avenue described as unfit for human habitation.
He was well-known and liked in the community — people knew his daily routine and watched out for him. He was never seen without his peak cap, he fed bread to the birds, and liked going to a local chipper.
