The Cork Coroner's Court is investigating the tragic death of 24-year-old jockey Michael O'Sullivan, who died from severe traumatic brain injuries following a fall during a race. Coroner Philip Comyn has granted an adjournment in the inquest as preparations for further hearings continue, and medical evidence has been presented. O'Sullivan, who showed great promise in the racing world, passed away 10 days after his accident at Cork University Hospital, leaving behind family who honored his legacy and achievements in their tributes.
"Michael had accomplished so much in his short life. As a family we are so incredibly proud not only of his achievements in the saddle, but of the extraordinary young man he had become."
"Assistant State Pathologist Dr. Margaret Bolster performed a post mortem examination at Cork University Hospital, ruling that the cause of death was a severe traumatic brain injury resulting from a horse riding accident."
