Heartbreaking news from Carrick-on-Suir as we remember Monika Kubasiewicz, a young mum who tragically lost her life giving birth to her daughter. Monika, a 33-year-old Polish native, had settled in the community with her partner and two young children just a few months ago. Their new home became the site of this unimaginable tragedy on Friday, when Monika and her newborn were discovered by her devastated partner.
Authorities have assured the public that no foul play is suspected. Initial findings suggest that Monika and her baby passed away during childbirth, though final confirmation will come following further examinations.
Monika was a well-loved figure in the local area, having previously managed a shop in Clonmel until the challenges of the pandemic forced its closure. The family had endured tough times, even facing temporary accommodation before making Carrick-on-Suir their home.
Local councillor David Dunne has appealed to the public to avoid speculation, urging the community to respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time.
As the town comes to terms with this loss, our hearts go out to Monika’s family, friends, and everyone affected by this tragedy. Let’s remember the vibrant spirit Monika brought to those around her and hold her loved ones in our thoughts.
