Episode 87
This Thursday on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, Prime Time will broadcast an interview with the family of the late Detective Superintendent Colm Fox. The segment comes following the recent conclusion of an inquest into his death, which occurred seven years ago at Ballymun Garda station in Dublin.
The inquest returned a verdict of death by suicide, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding Detective Superintendent Fox's passing. In their only sit-down interview, his family share their reflections, offering perspective on the man behind the job and the impact of his loss.
Speaking about the day he passed, his wife Edel told Prime Time "That morning, he just, there was something not quite right, but I actually couldn't put my finger on it."
The inquest had previously heard how he was under intense pressure over the Regency Hotel murder investigation and following trial.
His daughter Megan said "I knew that he was involved in this high profile case, and I knew that he was under pressure. No one really knew how bad things actually were for him."
By speaking about their loss, the Fox family hope to raise awareness in the hope that it may help others who are struggling and encourage them to seek support.
