GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a body of a woman in her 40s.
The woman’s body was found at her home on Rathmines Avenue, Dublin 6.
The discovery was made shortly after 12.30pm today. The Office of the State Pathologist has been notified and the body remains at the scene, which is currently preserved.
A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out tomorrow morning, the results of which will determine the course of a Garda investigation.

Veronica why do you assume the woman was a victim of any form of violence? She could have died from natural causes. Let’s leave the conjecture and male blaming until the results of the post mortem are known
@Veronica: well your first comment was implying that it was a death due to male violence..
@Veronica: Veronica nowhere in the article are the circumstances described as suspicious
@Siobhán Ni Mhurchú: and why did misanthrope say “cue Veronica”? Not because he thought it was an accident, because I doubt he’d refer to me specifically if it was a random incident and not a suspicious one.
@Rebekah Corbett: newspapers rarely report on natural deaths
@Veronica: He said ‘cue veronica’ because everytime anything happens to a woman you’re straight away saying it was clearly a man that did it..
@Ciara Baines: I’ve only ever commented on articles where women have suffered from male violence (at least usually, sometimes I comment on other ones about other things).
@Veronica: exactly the point Ciara was making …
@Veronica: Woman held after ’knife pulled’ during brawl at Christmas toy giveaway

@Veronica: You don’t know she’s suffered from male violence so about you hold off on your usual until we know the facts. Last I heard there are plenty of women in jail for murder too. And some of them have killed other women.. Shock horror.
@Veronica: stop putting words in my mouth. Never said anything remotely like that. Like a few other posters explained to you , something I’m fairly sure you already know, my comment was a humourous reference to your daily obsession with any article that you can use to spread your man hating lunacy.
@Veronica: “circumstances are suspicious”
No where does this report say that .
“newspapers rarely report on natural deaths”
Thats not true , esp where there are no witnesses
“Newspapers”
The journal is not a newspaper , a newspaper would not let you publish such guessing in such a case
I would keep your guessing for other stories where there are no deaths involved
@Jackbentwarner: typical Veronica inventing facts to support a made up point in defence of the Indefensible.
@Veronica: any comments on the latest developments in this unfortunate case Veronica….
Cue Veronica
@Misanthrope: you mean RIP?
@Matt Connolly: no, he doesn’t
@Veronica: you neither?
RIP to the poor woman. Journal, the above is why comments should be closed on reports of this nature. Tragedy should not be an opportunity for oneupmanship.
@Matt Connolly: I find it beyond the pale that there are so many articles on male violence against women that men like him have taken to trying to make fun of me rather than being horrified than that *they’re so frequent*.
Obviously RIP, another woman lost, and instead of using these awful tragedies to question ourselves *why they’re happening*, the majority just bury their heads in the sand and accuse me of “misandry”. It’s awful.
@Veronica: your a great woman for making assumptions and mischaracterising things people say to suit yourself. Above you claimed my “cue Veronica” post was motivated my a conviction on my part that foul play by a man was involved. Unless you believe you have mind reading abilities you are simply dishonestly putting words in my mouth, something you do all day everyday.
How less you react on negative people how more happy you live!
Just confirmed thus poor lady passed away from natural causes. R.I.P.
veronica…..I suppose an apology is well in order????????
@Frank Dubogovik: no chance. She will let this article dissappear.south before misquoting contributors in earnest.
have your say
