Noah Donohoe Inquest Finds Systemic Failures | Belfast News

A Belfast inquest jury has concluded that failings by Stormont’s Department for Infrastructure may have contributed to the tragic death of 14-year-old Noah Donohoe, who drowned in an underground water tunnel in June 2020. While not ruling it “probable,” the jury found it “possible” that poor management of the culvert — including no warning signs or secure barriers — allowed Noah to enter and perish. He was last seen cycling naked near the site before vanishing; police later determined he died between 7 PM and midnight the night he went missing. Though police failings were ruled not to have caused his death (as he was reported missing the next day), thirteen investigative errors by officers significantly hindered the inquiry’s ability to fully explain his disappearance. His mother continues to fight for answers in a case shrouded in mystery. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
