Probes launched into death of MMA fighter Joao Carvalho

Two separate investigations have been launched into the death of MMA fighter Joao Carvalho following an event in Dublin last weekend.

Carvalho died on Monday from injuries sustained in a fight against Charlie Ward at the Total Extreme Fighting 1 event at the National Stadium last Saturday. He had been in a critical condition for 48 hours at Beaumont Hospital before he died.

Both the gardaí and the Health and Saftey Authority (HSA) have launched investigations.
