Gardaí renew appeal for witnesses following death of Cork teen who reportedly fell from moving vehicle

Gardaí have renewed their appeal for witnesses following the death of a teenager in a road traffic incident in Co Cork earlier this month.

Conor Coleman, aged 19, died following an incident in Little Island, Cork, on Friday evening, April 17.

Gardaí confirmed on Monday morning that they had received a report that a male fell from a moving vehicle at approximately 11.50pm on the night in question.

Mr Coleman was taken from the scene to Cork University Hospital, where he was later declared dead.

Forensic collision investigators attended the scene and carried out an examination.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward.

Road users who may have camera footage, including dash-cam footage, and who were travelling in the area between 11pm and midnight on Friday, April 17, are asked to make it available to investigating gardaí.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Mayfield Garda Station on 021 4558510, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

The funeral Mass of Mr Coleman took place at the Church of Our Lady and St John in Carrigaline, Co Cork, last week.

His older brother John told mourners it was fitting that his generous brother had made an “eternal impact” through organ donation.

“As a family we decided to donate his organs. His heart, lungs, liver, kidney and pancreas all received five perfect matches. Meaning as his final act on earth he was able to save five lives and leave a legacy to the end of time.”
