Inquest Into Death of Cork Mum Nicola Collins Reveals Cause of Death
A mother of three found dead in a flat on the northside of the city earlier this year died from brain swelling and bleeding into the brain due to blunt force trauma to the head, an inquest was told today.
Nicola Collins, was a native of Tralee, but had been living in Togher and was found by paramedics when they were called to a flat at Popham's Road in Farranree on March 27th last.
Today Cork Coroners Court was told that a person was currently before the courts in relation to the 38-year-old's death and an adjournment of the inquest was requested.
Cork City Coroner, Philip Comyn granted the application and adjourned the inquest indefinitely to allow the criminal proceedings over Nicola Collins's death take their course in the courts.
Last month, 44-year-old Cathal O'Sullivan, a native of Charleville, living at Popham's Road was charged with the murder of Ms Collins at Popham's Road, Farranree on March 27th last.
