Verdicts of suicide in four out of seven inquests

Verdicts of suicide were returned in four of the seven inquests held at the coroner’s court in Killarney on Wednesday.

Three of the four who died were in their 50s, including one woman. The fourth was a married man, aged 82, whose body was found by his daughter who went to call him to lunch.

Two of the suicides, involving a man in his mid-50s near Kilgarvan, and a 52-year-old woman in Waterville village, took place at the Christmas and new year period. The others took place in February and last September.
