Moses Odonkor (53) suffered fatal injuries on a trawler which was operating off the Cork coast early on Tuesday morning.
Mr Odonkor was originally from Ghana but had been living in Ireland for over 20 years.
He had been living over recent years in Skibbereen.
In 2023, his son, Joshua (2), died after choking on a grape he was eating.
Mr Odonkor’s crewmates desperately tried to assist him after the freak accident last Tuesday but he was pronounced dead before emergency services could be dispatched to the scene.
The trawler immediately returned to Castletownbere and arrived early on Wednesday morning.
A full post mortem examination is scheduled to be conducted at Cork University Hospital…
