"Three death notices for Amy McAuley (35) were discovered on RIP.ie, including one saying she had died in France."
Amy McAuley, 35, fabricated multiple death notices — including one claiming she died in France — which were posted on RIP.ie as part of a deliberate scheme to avoid prosecution. She had been due to stand trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in January 2023 on theft and attempted deception charges after using altered documents to secure a €10,000 loan from KBC Bank in 2018 and later trying unsuccessfully to obtain a second €5,000 loan. A court convicted her for faking her death to obstruct the trial and sentenced her to three years' imprisonment.
