‘Kind’ homeless lady died in same doorway as her aunt

The 40-year-old woman found dead in a doorway on a Cork city centre street has been remembered as a “kind, nurturing lady”, who died in the same spot where her aunt passed away seven years ago.

Kathleen O’Sullivan was discovered dead at around 11am on Wednesday in a doorway on Lower Oliver Plunkett Street.

Ms O’Sullivan was homeless and known to services in the city, including the volunteer-run Helping Cork’s Homeless Group.
