Tributes Paid After Three Deaths In Offaly Homeless Accommodation

Gardaí are investigating the incidents.

Tributes are being paid after the deaths of three people in homeless accommodation in Offaly.

44 year old Angela Kelly from Portlaoise and 19 year old Amy Mannix from Kerry were found unresponsive in Clonamore Hostel in Tullamore at the weekend.

Another man, 30 year old Leigh Shortall from Tullamore, died in a separate accommodation unit in the town last week.

Gardaí believe the deaths may be related to a batch of fake Xanax tablets that were purchased online.

In an online post, a friend of Amy's says she was a young and beautiful soul taken too soon, who will always be missed.
