Man killed at caravan park while laying pipes

Two separate investigations are under way following the death of a man while laying pipes in a trench in a popular Co Cork caravan park.

Vincent Scully, 58, a single man originally from the Carrigaline area in Co Cork, was pronounced dead at Fountainstown caravan park yesterday a short time after the incident.

It is understood Mr Scully, who has a mobile home at the caravan park and who often helped with the maintenance and upkeep of the facility, was helping to lay pipes in a trench towards a septic tank when the accident occurred.
