Moira Killeen: A disputed “violent and suspicious” death and a family's fight for answers

View descriptionShare
 

Just a heads-up: This episode contains references to suicide and suicidal ideation, so please take care when listening.

In December of 2019, the body of Moira Killeen was discovered in her apartment in the Belair distract of Luxembourg. Her death quickly became a matter of dispute.

On one side, the medical examiner cited Ms Killeen's death as “violent and suspicious”. On the other, the prosecutor ruled that Ms Killeen's died by suicide and declined to carry out a post-mortem examination. Moira Killeen was later cremated.

Her family has consistently rejected the conclusion of suicide and continue to fight for answers seven years later.

Host: Fionnán Sheahan

Guests: Robin Schiller and Brian Killeen
