Órán McConville, who rose to fame as a child on Britain’s Got Talent, has died in a car crash at the age of 18. He first captured hearts in 2017 when he and the St Patrick’s Primary School choir reached the semi-finals, winning over viewers with their rendition of Keane’s Somewhere Only We Know in their audition.
He died in the early hours of Saturday morning, 5 April, after the car he was travelling in was involved in a collision. The teenager is believed to have been sitting in the front passenger seat at the time.
His death has sent shockwaves through his community in County Down, Northern Ireland, coming just weeks after the passing of his father, Paddy McConville, in February.
