Woman lay dead for over 24 hours in Kilkenny falling branch horror as loyal dog stayed by side until body found

This tragic farmer lay dead on her own land for more than 24 hours after she was pinned by a falling tree branch, it has emerged.

The Mirror has also learned that investigators believe one of Mary O’Shea’s dogs refused to leave her side until passers-by found her body.

“The dog stayed by her side the whole time,” a source said last night.
