Civil proceedings have been launched over the death of fashion designer Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra, who was found on a yacht in the Hamptons last year.
The family of a Carlow fashion designer who died in the US last summer have filed a civil lawsuit against the owner of the boat where she was found dead.
Martha Nolan-O’Slatarra was found unresponsive on a yacht in the Hamptons in August 2025.
Originally from Carlow, Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra had been living in New York for a number of years, where she ran her own fashion company East by East.
It's understood she had travelled to the Hamptons for business.
In the early hours of August 5th last year, she was discovered unconscious on a boat at the Montauk Yacht Club, where she was later pronounced dead by emergency services.
This week, her mother filed legal proceedings in New York against Christopher Durnan, whose yacht Ms Nolan-O'Slatarra was discovered on.
Ms Elma Nolan is seeking damages of $50 million dollars for the alleged 'wrongful death', and for 'personal injuries' her daughter sustained prior to her death.
Mr Christopher Durnan has been notified.
