Teenager died while on dream holiday to Mayo
Mr Sigmond's body was discovered on Slievemore Mountain in the Dooagh area.
A coroner has recorded a verdict of accidental death in the case of a Mexican teenager who went missing while on a dream holiday to Mayo.
The body of Sebastian Palma Sigmond was discovered on Achill Island, two days after he told relatives he was going for a walk.
Details of the death of 18-year-old of Colonia Copilo, Universidad, Alcaldia, Mexico, were heard at Swinford Coroner's Court last week.
The inquest was told that Mr Sigmond was visiting his aunt on Achill Island last July when he went missing. The alarm was raised early on Friday, July 7, after the teenager failed to return from a walk.
Aunt Juliette McDonnell told the inquest her nephew said her nephew did not say where he was going when he set off for a walk at 5.30pm. His concerned family reported him missing at 8.30pm. A major search operation involving the Coastguard, the RNLI, Gardaí, and local volunteers was launched. It continued until July 9 when Mr Sigmond's body was discovered on Slievemore Mountain in the Dooagh area. Ms McDonnell praised the emergency services for doing everything possible to help.
Consultant pathologist Dr Tamas Nemeth, who carried out a postmortem on July 10, said the medical cause of death was a subdural haemorrhage consistent with a fall. A toxicology found there were no drugs or alcohol in the teenager's system.
Coroner Patrick O'Connor recorded a verdict of accidental death in line with the evidence and sympathised with Mr Sigmond's parents and family.
Sgt Fiona Farrell extended sympathy on behalf of An Garda Síochána.
