Two homeless men drowned in Dublin's Grand Canal; one had drugs and alcohol in his system.

Two homeless men, Donal Scanlon and Alex Warnick, drowned in Dublin's Grand Canal in July 2024. Postmortem reports showed both men died from drowning; Warnick had high levels of alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, and methadone in his system. No witnesses saw them enter the water, and no third-party involvement was indicated. Their tents were near the canal, and the inquest noted drug and alcohol use among the local homeless community. The exact circumstances of their deaths remain unclear.
