Belfast Coroner’s Court has concluded the 12th week of the inquest into the death of 14-year-old Noah Donohoe, stating it is “most likely” he entered a tunnel through the bars of a culvert entrance. This finding is a significant development in the investigation into Noah’s disappearance and subsequent death in June 2020.
Noah’s body was discovered in a storm drain in North Belfast following an extensive search that lasted several days. The inquest has been examining how he may have accessed the culvert, which has drawn considerable public interest in Northern Ireland/The North. Engineering experts provided testimony regarding the structural features of the culvert and the feasibility of entry into the area.
The proceedings have underscored the tragic nature of the incident, with Noah’s family present at the inquest seeking clarity on the events leading to their son’s death. The court continues to gather evidence, with further testimonies scheduled in the coming weeks as the inquiry progresses. The inquest aims to provide answers to the many questions surrounding the circumstances of Noah’s death and the response to his disappearance.
The investigation has attracted significant media attention and public concern, reflecting the impact of Noah’s death on the local community. The inquest is expected to delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding the case, with the aim of ensuring a thorough examination of all relevant factors.
