The bodies of a woman and a female newborn baby have been discovered at a domestic residence in Co Tipperary.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed and emergency services are currently at the scene of an incident in Carrick-on-Suir after the alarm was raised by a man known to the woman at around 2 pm when he went to a residence in a housing estate in the Knocknaconnery area of the town.<\/p>\n
Multiple units of the garda\u00ed, Fire Services and a number of ambulances were dispatched to the scene.<\/p>\n
It is understood that the woman and baby may have died during an unsupervised home birth.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed have preserved the scene pending the arrival of the state pathologist and are investigating all the circumstances behind the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn open mind\u201d is being followed in the case by garda\u00ed, and they are following several lines of inquiry but it is understood officers are treating the matter as a \u201cpersonal tragedy\u201d.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed are establishing an incident room and will appoint a family liaison officer.<\/p>\n
They are also seeking to contact relatives and will speak to neighbours and family members in connection with the investigation.<\/p>\n
Their bodies are expected to be removed to University Hospital Waterford, where post-mortem examinations will be carried out in due course.<\/p>\n
