A woman, identified as Monika Kubasiewicz, 33, was found deceased along with her newborn baby girl in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary, Ireland. The tragic incident occurred in their residence at Blackthorn Close, Greenhill Village, where they were discovered by her partner. The bodies were found in the bathroom around 1pm, although authorities suspect they passed away several hours before the discovery.
Following a post-mortem examination on Friday, authorities confirmed no foul play in the woman’s death. It is believed that the baby died during the birthing process, pending further details from an upcoming post-mortem.
The police responded to the incident on Friday afternoon and released a statement confirming the deaths of the woman and infant. The scene is being preserved for investigation purposes, and a post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine the next steps in the investigation.
Monika Kubasiewicz, a Polish national, had recently moved to the area with her partner and their two young children, aged four and three. The family had previously operated a shop in Clonmel, Tipperary, but faced challenges due to the impact of Covid-19 in early 2020. After a period in emergency accommodation, they relocated to Carrick-on-Suir.
Local councillor David Dunne urged the community to refrain from speculating about the tragedy and to respect the privacy of the grieving family. The neighborhood residents expressed shock and sorrow over the loss, highlighting Ms. Kubasiewicz’s popularity in the area.
