-  JOHN HAND

TWO teenagers died on a post leaving Cert holiday in Greece in a "devastating loss", their former secondary school said last night.

Andrew O'Donnell, 18, is suspected to have lost his life in a tragic accident, while Max Wall is understood to  

have passed away from natural causes while they were both on the island of Ios.

The pals had both recently graduated from St Michael's College in Ballsbridge, South Dublin, and had been part of a large group.

Andrew had become separated from a friend as they made their way home from a night out on Saturday.

His body was found yesterday morning in a field outside the town of Hora, with indications he had suffered a fall.

Meanwhile, Max was found unconscious near the port area of the island yesterday afternoon.
