Gardai Investigate After Bodies Found At Two Separate Locations In West Dublin

The body of a woman and her seven month old son have been found in Dublin.

Gardai are treating their deaths as a family tragedy.

At around 3:45 this morning, Gardai received reports of a pedestrian acting suspiciously at the M50 Toll Plaza bridge.

When they responded to the reports, they found the body of a woman at Lower Road in the Strawberry Beds area.

Officers then went to a house in nearby Lucan where a 7 month old boy was found in an unresponsive condition.

The baby was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

The boy's body has been removed to Crumlin Hospital and his mother's body to the City Morgue for post-mortem examinations.

Gardai are treating their deaths as a family tragedy and aren't looking for anyone else as part of the investigation.

The family of the mother and child have appealed for privacy.
