According to a report from the Irish Mirror, Jason Faulkner died over the weekend, shortly after attending the funeral of his sister, Scarlett Faulkner.

Jason was one of the 16 siblings who just carried his sister's coffin at her funeral in St Munchin's Church, making it a devastating tragedy for the family. In Melissa's words:
"My heart… 2 days after burying your sister Scarlett, you're gone now, Jason."

But relatives suggest that he was facing the emotional toll of losing his sister and had a "broken heart". However, authorities did not confirm anything. He was actively involved in the funeral proceedings and was seen supporting his grieving family on the day leading up to his death. Some tributes for him also mentioned that his parents, Mary and Banny, are left "utterly devastated" by his death.

She had suffered some serious head injuries after an alleged roadside attack near Birdhill in County Tipperary on March 21, 2026.
