‘We’ve been left to investigate ourselves’: Family of Co Antrim man found dead in ‘unexplained circumstances’ call for case to be reopened

The family of a Co Antrim man who died in unexplained circumstances say they were ‘laughed at’ by a PSNI officer when they asked for phone records to be investigated.The body of Ronald O’Neill was found at his home in the Town Parks estate in Antrim in June 2024.In the weeks before his death, the 63-year-old had withdrawn and became isolated from his family.The former nursing assistant’s children, Gareth O’Neill (40) and Desnà O’Neill (38), have spent the past two years trying to piece together events leading up to their much-loved father’s untimely death.They believe the PSNI failed to properly investigate the circumstances and have highlighted what they believe are significant shortcomings in the police probe.Desnà O’Neill PICTURES: COLM LENAGHAN Desnà, a personal trainer, was even force
