FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS HAVE been announced for Alex Coughlan, who died after an assault in Blanchardstown in Dublin last weekend.

In the death notice, Mr Coughlan’s family say he will be “forever missed”, including by his “heartbroken” parents John and Brigid and his stepmother Sonia. He is also survived by his sister Zara and brothers Philip and Jack.

Mr Coughlan, who worked for insurance firm Bupa, was found unconscious on Mill Road shortly after 4.20pm on Sunday, 17 May, and was pronounced dead in hospital last Wednesday.

Mr Coughlan will be reposing at his mother Brigid’s house on Friday evening before removal on Saturday morning to Staffords Funeral Home in Ballyfermot for a celebration of his life at 10.45am, followed by a private cremation at Glasnevin Crematorium.

Two boys in their mid-teens have been arrested and charged as part of the ongoing investigation into the incident.

They have since appeared in court in connection with the assault.

A fundraiser has been organised to assist the deceased’s family with funeral expenses. Over €20,000 has been raised for the funeral for the “caring and selfless” deceased Mr Coughlan, according to organisers.
