Cops broke into the Dublin home around 5 a.m. to break the heartbreaking news to their partner, before finding the body of seven-month-old Henry.
A neighbor told the Irish Daily Mail that he had seen her walking with the baby in a “very good mood”, adding: “Nothing seemed out of the ordinary when I saw her pushing her son around the farm in her stroller.”
“We didn’t know each other by first names, but the family was very nice and friendly.
“I’m in total shock at what happened, I don’t know what else to say. I can’t understand how something like this could have happened.
“I don’t think this area will be the same again.”
Another said: “Another resident said: I have become very depressed after hearing what happened to this poor woman and her son.”
Nicola is believed to have suffered from postpartum depression in recent months.
Her son was found dead about an hour after his body was discovered; the cause of his death is believed to have been suffocation.
The pediatric nurse had been seen acting erratically near the M50 toll bridge around 3.45 a.m. Thursday.
TRAGIC DEATHS
The police are not believed to be looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths, and it is treated as a family tragedy.
A source said: “This is a terrible, terrible tragedy. A family tragedy. Gardai is not looking for anyone else.
“The baby’s autopsy will determine which path the investigation will take.”
Nicola worked at Children’s Health Ireland in Crumlin, and her friends described her as “kind and considerate.”
In paying tribute, the Support group for Nurses, Midwives and Frontline Staff in Ireland said: “To your heartbroken partner, parents, family, friends and colleagues, we express our deepest condolences. Our hearts are broken for you.
“Nicola, thank you for touching so many lives and for caring for so many sick children.
“It takes an incredibly special person to be a pediatric nurse and you really were very special.”
It is believed that he moved to Lucan, Dublin, from Ballina more than six years ago.
A police spokesman said: “Gardaí is conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a woman’s body in Lower Road, Strawberry Beds, Lucan, Co Dublin and the unexplained death of a child in a house in Lucan. Co, Dublin, October 22, 2020.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It does not discriminate, it affects the lives of people in all corners of society, from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It is the leading cause of death for people under 35 years of age, deadlier than cancer and car accidents.
And men are three times more likely to kill themselves than women.
He’s rarely talked about though, a taboo that threatens to continue his deadly rampage unless we all stop and realize it, now.
That’s why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The goal is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s promise to ask for help when we need it and to listen to others … You are not alone.
