It is understood the man died while attempting to retrieve a football from foot of cliff on Cape ClearThe Irish Coast Guard began a search after a man went missing on Cape Clear Island. File photograph: Dara Mac Dónaill/The Irish TimeA postmortem will be held after a man died during a family holiday on an island off west Cork over the weekend.
It is understood the man was playing football with family members around 5pm on Saturday at Cape Clear in Roaringwater Bay off Baltimore when the ball went over a cliff. The man took a detour along the coastline to get to the foot of the cliffs to retrieve the ball but when he failed to return, his wife went looking for him but could find him.
She thought he may have returned via another route but when she got back to where the family were staying and discovered he had not returned, she raised the alarm.
