Mod note: please no speculation or witty comments. This is probably a local person.
Let's only discuss what has been officially said in a proper news source.

Gardai confirming that body found on William Street this morn was of a local man in mid-30s. Not being treated as suspicious. #galway

The Question i have is...

How do you find a body on the busiest street and most monitored(GARDA CCTV) street of Galway?

lol. I mean he could have dropped dead 30 seconds before he was found

Superb grammar in the first line of that article.

Mrs OBumble

I'm guessing if he was my brother / cousin / etc (he's not, but), then I'd prefer a more respectful tone in this thread.


RIP, whoever he was and whatever his story is.

Heard about it this morning when I went into work. Strange, I walk up Shop Street every morning/evening to work, and this morning at 8:45 it felt a little...quiet. I won't say eerie, but quiet. Felt different from most mornings.

GARDAI have sealed off a section of Galway city this morning after the discovery of a man was discovered.

Is there any such thing as proof-reading these days or is everything just passed through a spell checker...?

+1 to Ms O'B comment above.

As a member of the family I ask that privacy is respected today of all days! This man is a son, a brother and a father! Idle gossip over what may or may not have happened is not appreciated! And if you know him, then I'm pretty dam sure that you will find out what happened. Galway is not that big of a place! Until then leave it alone!

My condolences. An awful thing to read about in the morning.

Some speculation removed.

RIP and condolences to family and friends.


It said on the radio he was a Galway native. Whatever has happened it's a real tragedy ,such a young man. I don't know who it is but have felt sad for him and for all those who do know him this morning.

I've always thought the Galway Advertiser Facebook page was crap, this morning it really resorted to gutter press headlines with this story and another about a (non) incident at the docks. They really should be ashamed of themselves.

Condolences to the family of this man, may he R.I.P.

I am not a fan of the fb either but really the gutter element was provided by some horrible posters on it this morning. It is just awful to think there are people out there who see these occasions as opportunities for grand standing with "witty" or controversial comments to get attention.

They never delete comments. No matter how defamatory or insensitive or just plain wrong.

I knew him, yes he had his problems but he was always a sound guy. R.I.P

Fixed. Granted you didn't go into specifics, that was totally unnecessary.

RIP

Sincerest condolences to this mans family. May he rest in peace now.

simongurnick

Went to school with him. Sound man. RIP.

Some of the comments on here are ridiculous by the way. Bitching about grammar when a young man has lost his life. Cop on.

Redhairedguy

Any more sniping or off topic arsery here will not be tolerated. A bitta respect, yeah?

If you have a problem with a post, report it or PM the offending poster/mod.


Condolences to the man's family. R.I.P
