Comments Thread For: Former Pro, Shannon Assistant Billy Isaac Passes Away

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Retired British boxer Billy Isaac, 45, died tragically on Tuesday after falling through a window at his mansion in Durris, Ireland; the former 2-0 (1) heavyweight boxer locked himself out and fell from a ground floor window while trying to climb into his home. His death is not being treated as su****ious.

Isaac moved to Ireland in 2007, where he looked after his ill father for 18 months prior to his death, but he would often return home to Manchester to help local trainer Bob Shannon. Isaac was a regular face in Shannon’s corner and the trainer today paid tribute to the 6’ 4’’ former fighter as he tried to come to terms with the news of his friend’s untimely death.

I'm sorry for the poor fellow. But what the ****ens was he doing in Durrus.(not Durris). I've been born and grew up in Ireland and never heard of the place. However just looking it up I see it used to be called "4-Mile Water" a hamlet which I may have vaguely heard of. It's as far S-W of the country as is possible to go. There's nothing there except about 2-3 hundred people. When I lived in Ireland there were less than 100.

There's nothing to do there except look out at the sea. So I'm wondering if he was on his way home from the local pub......... Whatever, it's rotten to hear of someone in the prime of life, losing it like that, especially as a first floor is an easy drop or fall.
