Gardai investigating the death of a mum and baby in west Dublin are probing the theory that they died from exposure to a drug.
Gardai discovered the remains of Kate Donohoe and her 11-month-old baby Vincent in the upstairs bedroom of their home in Beechwood estate in Clonee, Dublin 15 on Saturday afternoon by gardai and the emergency services. Gardai were alerted after a friend of Ms Donohoe’s became concerned they could not get in touch with her in the 24 hours prior to their bodies being discovered.
There was nobody else in the property and gardai say they are treating the matter as a ‘personal tragedy.’ A note discovered at the scene is a major focus of the investigation into the suspected murder/suicide.
