Jason Corbett's children say farewell to their father

The children at the centre of an American court custody battle prayed by their father’s body as it lay in repose yesterday in Limerick.

In a poignant private visit, 10-year-old Jack and eight-year-old sister Sarah were brought to Cross’s funeral home at around 2pm for some quiet moments with their late father, Jason Corbett.

The 39-year-old died in a violent domestic incident at the family home in North Carolina.
