THE devastated parents of two Leaving Cert students who died in a double tragedy while on holiday have travelled to Greece to bring home their remains.
Popular students Andrew O'Donnell and Max Wall, both 18, were marking the end of their Leaving Certificate exams with around 90 of their classmates on the island of los when tragedy struck over the weekend.
Andrew is understood to have gone missing on Friday and after an intensive search his remains were found near a cliff close to the main town of Chora on Sunday.
Tragic Max, who was in the same year as Andrew, is believed to have fallen ill while classmates were out searching on Sunday afternoon.
According to local reports Max was discovered unconscious in the port area of the island and was rushed to hospital where he was declared dead.
Police on the island say they have now launched two separate investigations into the deaths.
Both lads had just graduated from St Michael's College in Ballsbridge, South Dublin, and had been part of a large group of around 90 students who went to los to celebrate the end of the exams.
