Defibrillator group honours Corkman who died playing football

A group formed following the untimely death of a Corkman have vowed to continue their efforts to raise awareness of the undiagnosed condition that led to his passing.

Fermoy man Kevin O’Flynn was just 34 when he collapsed and died while playing football with his friends in 2015.

It was later discovered that he had an undiagnosed heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in which the walls of his heart were thicker than usual.
