A woman from Newcastle West, Co Limerick, Elizabeth “Liz” Lynch, dies after a trench being excavated for a septic tank collapses at a property in Kilmeedy. Multiple outlets report the incident occurred last Friday, September 18, while Lynch is at the site connected to work on a nearby house.
Following the death, family members announce funeral arrangements and ask mourners to follow specific guidance. While outlets focus on different practical details—one highlighting the family’s message to those attending—the overall circumstances described are consistent: a collapse during septic tank excavation leads to Lynch’s death, and her family is preparing to hold a funeral.
