  • Stillborn baby death on Balbriggan beach under investigation Death (unexplained) · Co. Dublin

    A stillborn baby girl named Belle was found covered in sand on Bell's Beach, Balbriggan, north County Dublin, in December 2019. The infant had been on the beach for a couple of days before being discovered by a dog out walking with its owner. Gardaí have a full DNA profile from a postmortem but have not identified the mother. The investigation remains open three years later, with gardaí appealing for the mother to come forward. The only current route to identifying her is a DNA match if she commits a future offence.
