Colin John Maher

Categories: Tragedy

Killed in a traffic collision, aged 26 years. His name appears in the Mass Intention list for 22 September 2003 at the Church of the Most Sacred Heart in Ruislip.

2014: Via Facebook Adam Knight sent us this link (our picture source) which shows his grieving parents visiting a medium. Colin, a school-teacher on his way home, was run down as he walked across the zebra crossing. The driver didn't stop and was never caught.

Our colleague, Andrew Behan, informs us that the England & Wales Civil Registration Death Index gives his date of birth as 19 September 1976.
