Thomas Griffin, a 32-year-old boxer from Ballyfermot, Dublin, tragically died following a suspected knife attack on Saturday night. The incident occurred at the War Memorial Gardens in Islandbridge, where Griffin was reportedly slashed in the face and body. In an attempt to escape, he entered the River Liffey but ultimately succumbed to his injuries by the riverside. Emergency services rushed him to St James' Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. This incident has devastated his family, already mourning the loss of his brother, James Griffin, who was fatally stabbed in 2014. Friends and local figures, including professional boxer Luke Keeler, have expressed their condolences, highlighting Griffin's talent and passion for boxing. Local authorities, including Gardai, are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack and are urging witnesses to come forward. A post-mortem examination is pending to assist in the investigation.
