Teen died as neck got stuck in railing

A teenager suffered a fatal heart attack after his neck got trapped in a freak railings accident, an inquest heard yesterday.

And gardaí, who conducted a detailed investigation into all the circumstances leading up to, and surrounding tragic Leon Connon’s death in Co Cork earlier this year, are about to submit a detailed file on the incident to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DDP).

Cork city coroner Dr Myra Cullinane adjourned the inquest until next May pending a decision from the DPP’s office about whether anyone should face prosecution in relation to Leon’s death.
