Norah Fennell’s question came as it was heard Mitchell had been found dead in his bed in a McVerry Trust hostel in north county Dublin nearly two years ago. Her son, Fran Fennell, who financed a playboy lifestyle by smuggling drugs to Australia and New Zealand, is currently serving an eight-year sentence. Ms Fennell asked if ex-hubby Mitchell had died from a heroin overdose, adding that media reports at the time said a quantity of the drug was found at the scene.
Norah Fennell A garda witness gave evidence that nothing “of evidential value was found at the scene” and there was nothing suspicious about Mitchell’s death. Ms Fennell said she had seen her husband on the day before his death when he was in a great mood. “He was in better form than usual,” she said.
