Teenager dies in mysterious circumstances

Police in Northern Ireland are seeking the public’s help in finding out how a 19-year-old man died on Saturday night in Derry. Post-mortem results are expected later today.

A TEENAGER HAS died in unknown circumstances in Derry.

19-year-old Caolan Page from the Upper Kildrum Carrigans, County Donegal area, died after being found unconscious in the Magazine Street area, Foyle, Derry at 2am on  Saturday morning (15 October).

Police in Derry are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, with RTE reporting that they are considering the possibility it was a tragic accident.

The results of a post-mortem examination are expected today and are hoped to shed more light on the young man’s death.

Police have also been examining CCTV footage from the surrounding area.

Detectives are still very interested in talking to anyone who may have information about the incident, particularly people who may have seen a man collapsed on Magazine St at around 2am on Saturday or who were in the Waterloo Place around the same time, or who came into contact with Caolan at any time during the evening.

Detectives at Strand Road can be contacted on 0845 600 8000 or the independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
