Skeletal remains were discovered in boarded-up Mallow property containing food items from 2001

The focus of the garda investigation has now turned to trying to establish the identity of the deceased with a container of butter with an expiry date in 2001 which was found in the fridge suggesting that the person may have been dead for over 20 years.Gardaí have spoken to a local business owner who moved to the area in 2002 and they told investigators that the house was already boarded up when they arrived which again points to the person being dead for over 20 years.

According to garda sources, the initial focus of their investigation to try to establish the identity of the deceased will be whether or not the remains may be those of the last known occupant of the property and they will be trying to establish when that person was last seen alive in Mallow. “We have to keep an open mind on this, but it looks very much like this is going to come down checking dental records or possibly the Missing Persons Database to see if there might be a match there with samples taken at postmortem with anyone reported missing,” said a garda source.

Gardaí say that given they are satisfied there is nothing sinister or criminal about the man’s death, their focus is now on preparing a file for an inquest at the North Cork Coroner’s Court but they have asked anyone with any information to contact them at Mallow Garda station on 022-31450.
