That is when they returned with Mr Doyle’s body, propped up in between them.
Police think Mr Doyle might have passed away as much as 3 hours prior to being required to the post workplace.
Haughney informed the Irish Daily Mail: ‘Peader was so frail and just weighed about 6 or 7 stone so whenever he headed out I would need to hold him up.
‘Looking back at what happened, I think he died at the bridge because his legs suddenly went limp, but myself and Gareth had no idea he passed away because this has happened a number of times before.’
When a cashier asked if Mr Doyle was all right, Haughney and Coakley dropped his body on the flooring and declared he was having a cardiac arrest.
They both got away from the post workplace however Haughney declares he went to get family members prior to returning.
