An inquest is to be held into the death of a 90-yearold Tullamore woman whose body was discovered on Thursday night in her smoke-filled home.
Ms Eilish Dunne lived alone in a two-storey house in O'Carroll Street in the town. Her body was discovered in the living room by firemen. She had apparently been overcome by dense smoke.
The body was removed to Tullamore General Hospital, where a post-mortem was carried out yesterday.
