Families of missing people from as far away as the US have made contact with authorities in Ireland in the vain hope that a man who died in a Cork hospital three years ago might be their lost loved one.

However, their hopes have been dashed as, to date, no positive DNA match has been made to the man who has since been buried in St Finbarr’s cemetery in Glasheen in Cork city.
