OAP died of hypothermia after 23km walk

The 67-year-old mother-of-three from Mount Tallant Avenue in Terenure, south Dublin, went missing from her home while walking her dog Casper on Sept 24 last year. Her disappearance was the subject of huge publicity, but despite an extensive search by gardaí and volunteers, her body was not found until Sept 28 when it was discovered in waste ground on the Ballymun Road near IKEA.
Dublin Coroner’s Court heard it is likely she stumbled into a ravine and died within hours having developed hypothermia.
