"Emergency services recovered Mr Keaney's body from the water at Whitehaven Beach at 11am on New Year's Eve. Having lived in the UK for several years, he is the third person reported to have drowned at New South Wales beaches in recent days. The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed it is providing consular assistance to the family."
"We were incredibly lucky to have Sean by our side as we celebrated last year's and this year's Championship victories, as well as the All Britain titles. A man always found on the dance floor, with a smile that could light up a room and a laugh that could warm your heart, Sean will be unbelievably missed by us all."
Emergency services recovered Mr Keaney's body from the water at Whitehaven Beach at 11am on New Year's Eve. He had lived in the UK for several years and was reported as the third person to drown at New South Wales beaches in recent days. The Department of Foreign Affairs is providing consular assistance to his family. His death notice records that he died "suddenly following a tragic accident" and lists his surviving mother, sisters, and brothers, and notes he was predeceased by his father. Tara GFC, his London GAA club, praised his impact, smile and laughter. A GoFundMe with the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust has raised almost €10,000 of a €16,000 target to repatriate his remains.
