A man who died on Wednesday afternoon after collapsing in the Derryveagh mountains has been named as seventy year old Pat (Hannah) Boyle.
It’s thought the man may have suffered from a heart attack while gathering sheep in the mountains between Dunlewey and Falcarragh.
The emergency services were called, and paramedics from the Sligo based rescue helicopter treated him on the mountain. However, the man died at the scene, and his body was brought to Letterkenny General Hospital.
A post mortem examination of Mr Boyle’s body was due to take place yesterday.
