GARDAI are treating as suspicious the death of Michael O’Sullivan who was found dead following a house fire in Cork.

The Irish Sun understands cops probing the 62-year-old’s death are trying to trace a woman who may have valuable information concerning the fire in a flat in Cork.

Tragic Michael’s body was found in a room in his home in Togher on the Southside of the city at around 7pm on Friday.

Gardai are treating as suspicious the discovery of the man in the smoke filled room where he lay dead by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus.

Neighbours heard cries for help from the flat and they ran to help while also alerting the emergency services.

One brave woman helped a female who was in the property to safety, but the woman did not remain at the scene nor seek help from paramedics.

The heroine who saved her was treated for smoke inhalation by paramedics.

Sources said that materials located at the scene of the tragedy led to Garda suspicions that the fire needed further investigation.

The materials are being forensically examined and the results, along with the results of the post-mortem examination which will be done tomorrow, will determine the course the probe will take.

A number of units of Cork City Fire Brigade and emergency services rushed to the house on Togher Road on the Southside of the city.

The body of Mr O’Sullivan, who lived alone, was discovered in a room in the property after firefighters managed to contain the blaze to one room.

Gardai sealed off the entrance to the block of flats and the services of the State Pathologist were requested and the local Coroner has been notified.

The Garda Technical Unit is also carrying out a full forensic examination of the property, focusing on the room in which the body was found.

The flat suffered considerable smoke damage, which also billowed out into the landing area.

Local City Councillor Fergal Dennehy spoke of the shock in the area.

“HEARTBREAKING TRAGEDY’

He said: “I want to offer my deepest condolences to the family of the man who lost his life tragically in the devastating fire that has impacted deeply on our entire community.

“This is a heartbreaking tragedy that will affect many lives.

“I want to commend local neighbours who stepped in to assist a woman in safely exiting the premises. Their bravery and quick action in such a difficult situation are truly commendable”.

Gardai in Togher are appealing for anyone who may know anything about the fire or who may have seen anything suspicious in the vicinity of the house on Togher Road to contact them.

DEEP in the heart of the Amazon flows a hot water river that can boil animals alive.

The 100C waterway would scold a person who falls in with third degree burns in just seconds – and they’ll be miles from any help.

Anyone who takes a breath while standing on the edge of the river will feel their nose and lungs burn.

The mysterious river is in the central Mayantuyacu region of Peru in the Andes and the western edge of the Amazon rainforest.

Animals that fall in are cooked alive.

The river is named Shanay-Timpishka in the indigenous language – which means “boiled by the heat of the sun”.

But the sun is not how the water heats up.

Instead, the cold jungle river runs over the top of fault zones where hot underground water flows from deep within the earth.

Andrés Ruzo, an explorer and geothermal scientist, said the hottest water temperature he has ever measured is 210F (100C).

He said: “You stick your hand in, and you will see second or third degree burns in a matter of seconds.

“The first thing to go are the eyes. Eyes, apparently, cook very quickly. They turn this milky-white colour.

“They’re [animals] trying to swim out, but their meat is cooking on the bone because it’s so hot.

“So they’re losing power, losing power, until finally they get to a point where hot water goes into their mouths and they cook from the inside out.”

Ruzo brought the world’s attention to the river in a viral 2016 Ted Talk.

As a Peruvian, he had long heard stories about the river’s existence and set out to prove it and measure it.

He had also heard stories of Spanish conquistadors encountering a river that boiled from below while they were attempting to kill the last Inca emperor.

In 2011 he went on a hike, led by his aunt who claimed to have swam in the river before.

They battled through the jungle and found it, leaving Ruzo amazed to see the legendary river with his own eyes.

“It has forced me to question the line between known and unknown, ancient and modern, scientific and spiritual.

“It is a reminder that there are still great wonders to be discovered.”

The river area is home to the Amazon communities Santuario Huistin and the Mayantuyacu who have long considered it a sacred site.

There are two other boiling waterways in the area, including the Salt River (a salty thermal stream) and the Hot River (a thermal freshwater stream).

Scientists think rain water falls down the earth’s crust and heats up, before being pushed back up to the surface.

The closest volcanic area is some 430 miles away.
