Heartbroken father pleads with teenagers 'not to drink or do drugs'

A heartbroken father who had to identify his son in a morgue yesterday advised teenagers “it’s a bad idea” to go out drinking and smoking drugs.

“It was unreal, unreal. The vision will never leave me. To see your first-born child like that, unreal,” said Michael Ducey.

His son, Jamie Ducey from Dungarvan, had been found face down in a stream, after climbing a wall.
