L’uomo che ha aggredito un 88enne all’ospedale di Cork è stato dichiarato colpevole di omicidio colposo

>The evidence was that Mr Magee of Churchfield Green, Churchfield in Cork was admitted to hospital on 19 January 2023 in a hallucinatory state. He was seeing dead people and hearing voices.   

>The father of three was on anti depressants for a month prior to his hospital admission. He had self-medicated with cannabis and claimed to have taken 120 benzodiazepines in the week before his hospital admission. A hospital toxicology screening also showed that he had morphine in his system.               

No fucking wonder he was seeing dead people. I would have been convinced I was talking to god If I took the same

>Defence barrister, Brendan Grehan, SC, in his closing speech to the jury said that he couldn’t understand why Magee was placed in a general ward.

>“For reasons I don’t quite understand Dylan Magee was put in a general ward with elderly patients. He was hallucinating. He was hearing voices and seeing dead people.”

You and me both pal. Irish healthcare system working as normal

The questions is why wasn’t he placed on the psych ward? Considering there is one in that hospital.

Wild how half the comments here are from rabid homicidal gobshites and the other half are from people who work in hospitals.

Very sad case all round

imagine working hard all your life. farming your land raising your family. being in a hospital for medical treatment a place you would think you were relatively safe in and being attacked and murdered. little enough justice for Mr Healy or his family
