Declan McGlinchey, 39, took ill on Sunday night.
The father-of-seven was able to walk out of the house after
complaining of chest pains but later died.
His father, Dominic McGlinchey, was an INLA leader who was
shot dead in front of his teenage son in 1994.
Declan's mother, Mary, was shot dead as she bathed her two
sons in 1987.
In the 2011 trial of republican Colin Duffy, who faced
murder charges after two soldiers were shot dead outside Massarene army
barracks in Antrim, a barrister told the court: “Police hold reliable
information to indicate that a son of Dominic McGlinchey Senior was the driver
of the vehicle which was subsequently recovered by police and was used in the
fatal shooting of two soldiers.”
