Two Probes Into Farm Accident In North Cork
Two separate investigations are underway following the death of a man in a farmplace accident in north Cork. Gardaí and the Health and Safety Authority are both conducting inquiries into the circumstance surrounding the death of Michael Mackessey, from Kiltoohig, in Charleville, on Monday night. The 47 year old was working under a horse box, which had been raised up on a jack, in a workshop on the family farm. His mother found him on Monday night pinned beneath the box which had apparently fallen on him. The alarm was raised immediately and gardaí and paramedics rushed to the scene. Mr. Mackessey received emergency medical treatment at the scene. But his injuries were so extensive that paramedics were unable to save him and he was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
