Dead man’s family criticises hospital

THE family of a 47-year-old man who was killed by a train minutes after he received treatment for a head injury has criticised the hospital over the manner in which he was discharged.

Tess Koyce, sister of John Condon said she had reservations about the hospital's policy on releasing patients.

"I don't believe John should have been discharged at 4am. I've never heard anything like it. He shouldn't have been discharged at that time," Ms Koyce said.
