PAIR KILLED BY 'A FALL AND HEART PROBLEMS'

Teens' preliminary autopsy results

- 

INITIAL results from autopsies on two Irish teenagers, who died hours apart on a Greek island, were revealed last night.

Preliminary results indicate that Andrew O'Donnell died from a fall and that Max Wall's death was due to cardiac problems.

Max had a history of heart issues for which he had previously undergone surgery.

However, the full toxicology and post mortem results for the Dublin classmates are not expected to be ready for at least a week.

A source, with knowledge of the procedure at the forensic science department in Piraeus, said: "Toxicological tests will take longer. Such analysis is key and will prove definitively the cause of death in both cases. The students died within 24 hours of each other last weekend.
