Lorcán was a talented GAA player for his local club Clonduff
A family and community in Co Down has been hit by a second tragedy after a ‘very talented’ GAA player died suddenly in Australia six years after the death of his brother.The young man’s family have been hit with the loss of a second brother and son, following the passing of 23-year-old Peárce from a cardiac incident in June 2018.
In a post on social media, Clonduff GAC said Lorcán had been due to travel home to rejoin the senior team in the coming weeks. “A very talented dual player for our club, Lorcán left for a winter in Australia in November 2023 and was due to return home for club playing duty in the coming weeks. “It is even more difficult to comprehend this tragic news, given the untimely passing of Lorcán's older brother Peárce, our senior hurler, in June 2018.In a tribute to her brother posted on social media, Lorcán's sister Caitlín described him as a ‘true gentleman who was full of joy and loved everything life had to offer.’.
