I need your help Update 24/12/09

Gavin "shels" · 06-12-2009 03:31AM #1

As many on here know I'm a regular poster ad D8 bible, but well I need your help very much now.

My younger brother is in hospital at the moment after having brain surgery tonight. He's on life-support after suffering several severe knocks to the head, whether they be caused by an attack or by him falling, that's where I need you. There is several bruises to his head which would be consistent by either falling several times or being hit repeatyly.

Atm the detectives in Donnybrook are investiating but hopefully boardsies can shead some light. What we think happened is, he was at a party, got a taxi BUT the road we live on is also the name of a road in Donnybrook, so we think he got dropped off there. After that we can't picture what happened, all we know is he was found unconscious on Pembroke Road today at about 1.30pm. We're trying to found out what happened in between the 12 hours previous. It seems he had been there all night as his body tempature was extremely low.

I'd prefer any info by pm, just as it's a very dodgy matter atm and the guards are investigating it aswell.

Get well soon bro, and don't give up the fight man.

Jesus Christ, that's dreadful Gavin.

I'd give anything to be able to help you, mate. I'll text everyone I know just to check that they weren't in the area.

I'm not a praying man, but I'll pray hard for your bro tonight.

Stay strong, big lad.

The Zohan has kindly given permission for me to copy this thread over from the Dublin City Forum, thank you Zohan.

Gavin is a very well known, respected and regular contributor to the DFC and he needs our help.

Please treat his post with the same respect you'd expect if you were in his position.

Thanks.

It's dreadful when you don't know what happened to him.
Here's hoping his op is successful.

History repeats itself then. It was this Saturday in December, 3 years ago my stepmother was let off by a taxi after a party away from the home and she was found 3 miles away in a ditch, in what would have been today under similar circumstances. Im sorry to say the country had an uncharacteristically awful storm that night and she never recovered from the hypothermia, dying that evening in hospital before any family could be reached.

All I can say is the Clare PD was brilliant about piecing together the entire ordeal very quickly.

I hope your brother recovers quickly. I assume he is still in critical condition, the next few hours could be telling. This isnt something the Gards will give up on in a hurry.

El Siglo · 06-12-2009 06:54PM

Gavin, all I can say is I hope your brother makes a speedy recovery and we're all praying for him and hopefully your investigation turns up some results.

donvito99 · 06-12-2009 07:13PM

I had a couple of friends out in the area last night. I'll give them a buzz and see if they saw anything or heard anything.

Really sorry to hear that Gavin.

banquo · 06-12-2009 07:19PM

I know another private investigator - published author with 10 years experience - if you need a second opinion. Pm if interested.

06-12-2009 07:27PM

Hope he makes a full recovery soon. And good luck with the investigation x

Daemos · 06-12-2009 07:55PM

Christ, that's terrible

Best wishes to you and all your family, especially your brother
