Kilkenny, Ireland – The Irish sporting community is mourning the loss of Denis Joseph Carey, affectionately known as DJ Carey, the former Kilkenny hurler who tragically died aged 52. Reports suggest that Carey, a prominent figure in the world of hurling, died by apparent suicide after grappling with mental health challenges, including depression. The news comes in the wake of legal proceedings against Carey, stemming from alleged involvement in a fraudulent cancer diagnosis and related cash-raising schemes.
DJ Carey’s legacy in the realm of hurling is an illustrious one. Born on November 11, 1970, in Kilkenny, Carey’s remarkable sporting journey began with the Young Ireland’s club team.

His contributions to the sport earned him recognition as one of the game’s true luminaries, solidifying his place in the annals of Irish sporting history.
However, on September 29, 2023, DJ Carey faced serious legal charges related to fraud and forgery. The charges allege that he falsely declared that he had cancer to manipulate people into providing him with financial assistance.
DJ Carey faced significant financial challenges, leading to a protracted legal battle resulting from a substantial debt incurred from a multimillion-euro loan secured against properties at prestigious golf resorts, Mount Juliet and the K Club.
Additionally, recent developments have seen Carey embroiled in a court case involving multiple counts of theft and forgery, further complicating an already tumultuous period in his life. DJ Carey was facing 21 counts of theft and forgery against 25 people over eight years.
As the Irish sporting community grapples with this heartbreaking loss, the family are expected to release details regarding DJ Carey’s death and funeral arrangements, allowing friends, fans and the wider community will be allowed to pay tribute to his memory and contribute to the world of hurling.
