Foul play has been ruled out in the death of a 32-year-old woman found at her home in Ballincollig, County Cork. An autopsy completed Saturday found no suspicious circumstances surrounding Kelly Cremin’s death.
Kelly Cremin Death: Investigation Concludes
Kelly Cremin was discovered with a head injury upstairs in her home at Innishmore Park on Friday evening. Neighbours raised the alarm, and emergency services responded to the scene.
Authorities believe she died in a fall. A file is being prepared for the Coroners Court.
Neighbours had expressed concern after not seeing Cremin for some time. A technical examination of the house was conducted, and gardaí carried out door-to-door inquiries on Saturday morning while the autopsy took place at Cork University Hospital.
Locals have described the community as deeply shaken by the incident. The weekly Park Run in the local regional park was cancelled on Sunday morning as a mark of respect.
Some residents noted the death brought to mind the 2000 killing of 22-year-old Rachel Kiely, also from Innishmore.
Local priest Fr Ronan Sheehan said the death of a mother in the lead-up to Mother’s Day was particularly poignant. He stated Cremin will be remembered at weekend Masses in the parish and had attended services in recent weeks.
Colm Kelleher, a Fianna Fáil councillor, said he heard sirens in the village after 5pm on Friday. Joe Lynch, a Sinn Féin councillor, spent the evening with residents near the scene and described the community as “shell-shocked.”
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses who were in the Innishmore area of Ballincollig between 3pm on Thursday, March 12, and 5.30pm on Friday, March 13. Anyone with camera footage, including home security or dashcam recordings, is asked to provide it to investigating gardaí.
Those with information are asked to contact Togher Garda Station on 021 4947120, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station.
