Gardaí identify human remains found in derelict house in Mallow

The house on Beecher Street in Mallow had been derelict for many years, with the council initiating compulsory purchase proceedingsGardaí have identified the human remains found in a house in Mallow in North Cork after getting a positive match with records from a local dentist who had treated the house owner over 20 years ago.

Investigators are satisfied that the skeletal remains found in a bedroom in the single-story terraced house on Beecher Street in Mallow are those of the last registered owner of the property, Tim O’Sullivan, who bought it in 1989 after he returned from the UK. Mr O’Sullivan was born in Co Kerry on September 29th 1939, and was in his late 50s or early 60s when he dropped off the radar in the early 2000s from the property on Beecher Street where he lived a reclusive life, often suffering from mental health issues that required hospitalisation.

Locals on Beecher Street had assumed that Mr O’Sullivan, who spoke with an English accent, had either returned to the UK where he had lived for many years or had gone for treatment to St Stephen’s Hospital at Glanmire in Cork when they no longer saw him around the property.
