The funeral of a young seven year old boy who was found dead in west London last week is to take place this Friday.
Oisín O’Driscoll and his mother, Aughagower native Sinéad Higgins (37), were both found dead in their home in Ruislip last Wednesday morning. UK Police have since confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in relation to the tragic incident.
It had been expected that it would be some time before the bodies were released to their families after postmortems had taken place, but the funeral arrangements for Óisin O’Driscoll have now already been published. He will be buried in the hometown of his father, Bray native, Shane O’Driscoll.
The funeral notice reads as follows: “Tragically taken at the tender age of 7 years. Sadly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of experiencing his infectious smile and his warm heart, especially his loving dad Shane, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, extended family and friends.”
A Mass will be held on Friday, December 23, in the Holy Redeemer Church, Bray, Co Wicklow, with a funeral afterwards in Kilternan Cemetery Park.
The family have asked that instead of flowers, donations be given to Friends of St Swithun Wells – Oisín’s school in Ruislip.
Shane O’Driscoll paid tribute to his son in a Facebook message last week.
“Thank you for all your support and messages. Words cannot express how we are feeling. Today it became real when I had the first opportunity to hold Oisin and see his little face. My best buddy has been taken from this world and taken from all his little friends. He has always been an angel. Sleep well my little man. Love Dada.”
Funeral details for Sinéad Higgins have yet to be announced.
