In a heartbreaking turn of events, 14-year-old Noah Donohoe was found dead in a storm drain in north Belfast in June 2020, just six days after he went missing. Noah’s disappearance has left a community in shock and raised numerous questions about that tragic day.
Just days before he vanished, Noah’s mum, Fiona Donohoe, found him crying in his room. His behaviour seemed out of character, as he’d been unusually emotional and affectionate. Despite setting out to meet friends, Noah never returned home, sparking a massive police search. CCTV footage would later show Noah cycling in north Belfast without clothes, a puzzling development in the case.
The ongoing inquest aims to uncover the facts surrounding Noah’s disappearance and death, though it faces its own hurdles. Some sensitive information has been withheld from the public due to national security concerns, adding another layer of complexity.
The case has prompted warnings against speculating on social media, as such actions could impact the inquest’s proceedings. As the inquest continues until late March, the hope is to finally shed light on the mysterious circumstances of this young boy’s tragic death. Stay tuned for updates as the search for answers presses on.
