Reclusive twin brothers may be buried with father in Cork

Reclusive elderly twin brothers from Cork, who were facing burial in a pauper’s grave after dying alone in London, could be brought home for a dignified funeral after a cousin came forward.

Seán Kelly said the late Bill and John Kelly, 77, who were estranged and who died within months of each other, could be buried with their father in their native Cork.

“I was sorry to hear that they had died. My wish now is that they would be buried in a proper grave,” Seán said.
