#Drowning - BreakingNews.ie reports that the Garda Ombudsman is investigating the death of a man whose body was recovered from the River Corrib in Galway city some time after he was stopped at a Garda traffic checkpoint.
The Irish Coast Guard and Galway RNLI were involved in a major search and rescue operation last night after the man was seen jumping into the river from O’Brien’s Bridge around 6.30pm. His body was found at Lough Atalia an hour later.
