I'm pretty sure they are connected alright! I was in town this afternoon about 2ish and the chopper was still around, an hour and a half after the guy entered the water!! (I'm not giving out about the rescue teams, saying they are slow or anything, they do amazing work, just saying his chances were pretty slim)

Is there anything coming out about the name or age?

Unlikely to be anything official yet until all the next of kin have been informed, I'd say tomorrow at the earliest!

I was driving past King Johns castle about half 12. 2 squad cars, 1 van and 1 unmarked car all flew past with their lights and sirens on. Related to this presumably.

I live near the river and its surprising how often the helicopter is out they really do a brilliant job. Its very sad hearing it because more often than not it is tragic news like this case.

To do what he did, the poor guy must have been going through some horrific mental anguish to get to that stage.

I knew someone who put a gun to his head in his parent's house and pulled the trigger not too long ago. The effect on the family was, and still is, devastating. That guy before he had to move back to his family home used to live near me, and was a good guy too. Seems in the last week at his parent's place, his mood lifted and he was even cracking jokes again. Some experts say that is when the person has come to peace with the idea of taking their own life and relaxes in the knowledge their pain will soon end. For the family it seemed like he was turning a corner and they thought better times were ahead.

The suffering for the guy on the bridge has ended now as well, but one word is going to echo amongst those he left behind.

Why.....?


Tough times ahead for those people, I wish them every sympathy and hope that they get the support of friends and relatives to aid them.

I agree. A relation of mine went into the Shannon 2.5 years ago. Nobody could really figure out why and we still don't know the full story.

We searched for 6 days until some fishermen found his body down by Kileely.

Those 6 days will echo in our minds forever not knowing if he was simply lying in a ditch hurt.

He may have thought, my relation and the guy yesterday, that it will end the pain. Maybe for him, but the pain has only just begun for everybody else.

Worked with him. Really nice guy. Honestly could not say a bad word against him. As is the case with most instances of this, you just couldn't see it coming. RIP

Yes it happened by poor mans Kilkee a man jumped in and was pulled out by the fire service.
Thankfully he survived, all I hope is that he realises that he is one of the extremely lucky ones as so not many are fortunate to have a second chance after something like that. I hope he recieves the help and support that he needs as something must have been quite bothering him to go that far.

SoCo2009

Another person went in yesterday?? :eek:

Lads whats going on? Thats so many people who have went in in the last few months. One of the lucky ones is right.

I know Search and Rescue do an unbelievable job but would it not make sense to have a someone posted along the river in town at all times, a lifeguard of sorts? Or is it a case of they don't have the resources to do so?
