The Department of Foreign Affairs is offering assistance to the families of two Irish men who died in Florida, with a report in the US suggesting their remains were “mislabelled”, leading to the “highly probable” cremation of the wrong body.

Dubliners Luke Comiskey, of Rathfarnham, and Kane Mitchell, of Ballycullen, died in April 2022, with a medical examiner determining both died as a result of a fentanyl overdose.
