A jury has returned a verdict of death by misadventure into a fatal motorcycle collision involving a leading figure in international motorsport, William Dunlop, during a road race in north Dublin five years ago.
The finding was made at the end of a three-day inquest at Dublin District Coroner’s Court which heard that a Garda investigation had concluded that the fatal crash involving the well-known Northern Ireland sports star was “nothing other than an accident.”
Superintendent Edwards Carroll told the hearing that there was no suggestion of any criminality in relation to Mr Dunlop’s death.
