Body of 61-year-old found with head injuries in sheltered accommodation in Co Cork town
Gardaí say they are treating as suspicious the death of a 61-year-old man who was found with serious head injuries at a sheltered housing complex in Macroom, Co Cork.
Mr Foley, a separated father of four originally from Clonakilty, had been living at the complex for about year, having previously lived in a flat in Ballineen in west Cork.Michael McDowell: A Yes vote on the family referendum is a vote for a foreseeable and avoidable messGardaí investigating his death cordoned off the scene and scenes of crime examiners began a preliminary examination of the chalet.
According to the Garda Press Office, the results of the postmortem will determine the course of the investigation, but it is understood gardaí believe that foul play was a factor in Mr Foley’s death. Investigators have begun harvesting CCTV footage from the area to see who may have visited Mr Foley as, although he lived alone, he frequently invited people he met in town to join him at his home.
They are particularly anxious to speak to anyone who may have been driving in the area including people using the local Supervalu and Castle Hotel car parks and may have dash cam footage that might assist them. Mr Foley, who is predeceased by his daughter, Annette is survived by his three daughters, Caroline, Kate and Shelley as well as his sisters, Mary and Ann.
