Thomas Friel death result of fall after being shot, inquest finds

A Londonderry man who died four days after he was injured during rioting in 1973 died as the result of a fall after he was struck by a rubber bullet, a judge has ruled.

Thomas Friel, 21, died after he was injured in the Creggan area of Derry in May 1973.

On Friday, Judge Mark Reel, acting as coroner, told a court in Belfast that Mr Friel died from injuries sustained when he hit his head on the ground after being struck by a rubber bullet.

He said that in all likelihood, Mr Friel was struck by a rubber bullet fired by a soldier referred to in court as Soldier B.
