An inquest into the death of a West Cork woman who fell down a ravine has heard that the discovery of her body was nothing short of a miracle
69 year old Maureen O'Connor died of hypothermia after she fell in to a 6ft deep ravine in an extremely remote part of West Cork
The Coroner’s Court in Bantry heard that Maureen - who lived “off grid” in a wooden building in Glengarriff - was reported missing on October 25th last year
A search was mounted but it took several days before her body was found in very rough terrain on a hillside
A verdict of accidental death was recorded in the case
