Fatal Glounthaune fall death of Michael and Anne O’Sullivan

Local authorities have reported a tragic incident in Glounthaune, east of Cork City, where an elderly married pair, Michael O’Sullivan, 83, and his spouse Anne O’Sullivan, 80, were discovered deceased following a serious fall down the stairs within their private dwelling. The pair was last observed on Saturday and communicated via telephone on Sunday before failing to answer calls on Monday, prompting concerned family members to alert emergency services.

Emergency responders from the Mayfield Garda Station arrived at the two-story semi-detached house and identified the bodies of the man and woman, both in their eighties, at the base of the staircase. In an official statement released by the Gardaí, it was confirmed that the two individuals were found deceased inside the property. The crime scene was secured for forensic analysis, and the bodies were transported to Cork University Hospital for postmortem examinations scheduled for Wednesday.

Initial findings suggest no evidence of forced entry or violent trauma, and the police have indicated a lack of suspicion regarding criminal motives at this time. The ongoing investigation anticipates the preparation of a report for the coroner’s court, with the precise details of the accident still under review.
