The family of a Leitrim man who died at his home in 2020 have vowed to continue to seek answers following his inquest.

Liam Farrell died suddenly at his home in Aughamore on the 12th of January 2020, in what his family believe were violent circumstances.

On the 11th of January, 2020, Liam Farrell was socialising in Rooskey village before walking a short distance to his home close to midnight.

He was found in a traumatic state at door of his house late the next afternoon and was pronounced dead soon after.

The scene was forensically examined but no criminal charges in connection with the death of Mr Farrell were ever pursued.
