Noah Donohoe Inquest: Noah Was 'One in a Million' Friend Says
Noah Donohoe’s inquest examines his mental health and final days, with friends describing him as positive despite recent struggles, as the inquiry aims to clarify his death circumstances.
- On Monday the inquest at Belfast Coroner's Court began hearing evidence after a three-day jury selection last Thursday into Noah Donohoe, 14-year-old schoolboy, who went missing on June 21, 2020 and was found dead six days later on 27 June 2020.
- After raising concerns with the school a week before his disappearance, Fiona Donohoe, Noah's mother, placed a 999 call saying he had 'not been himself'.
- Messages read at court show Noah Donohoe was 'up and down' and admitted being 'in denial' about his emotions, while Jay Tierney testified they were open, with Skype calls and Noah 'excited for the future'.
- Presiding coroner Mr Justice Rooney told jurors to remain neutral and decide only on evidence heard in court, while a post-mortem report found drowning and the inquest may run until late March.
- During Covid lockdown, friends described irregular sleep, frequent messages around 4am, long Skype calls, and St Malachy's College pastoral support; Noah's disappearance prompted a major citywide search and media coverage.
