Members of an Ennis family fear that that their late son and brother, Niall Mahony could have lay undetected in a ‘superloo’ for up to 20 hours in Ennis before his body was discovered. A doctor who attended the scene reported that rigor mortis had set in and the post mortem reported that there was the possibility that Mr Mahony had been in the public toilet from the previous day. Mr Wragg told the inquest that usually after people are inside a public toilet for longer than 20 minutes, the alarm goes off and the door opens and stays open. Ms O’Dea describe Mr Mahony as “a well known character around town”. She told the inquest in a deposition that she was “heartbroken and so upset” by his death.
