    The remains of Bridget "Biddy" O'Brien (45) and Jamie McGinn (38) were found at their shared home in the Cois Cairn estate, Old Connaught Avenue, Bray, Co Wicklow, at about 8am on Wednesday 22 October 2026. McGinn's body was discovered in the garden with wounds gardaí believe were self-inflicted, while the precise cause of O'Brien's death awaits toxicology results. Gardaí believe foul play of any kind is very unlikely and are treating the deaths as a tragedy. The couple had lost their two children, Jordan (4) and Holly (3), in a 2017 fire at a domestic violence facility in Clondalkin, Dublin, and had struggled with trauma and drug use in the years since. No criminal file is expected unless unusual results emerge from the pending toxicology tests, which may take several weeks.
