No charges likely in hospital death case

NO criminal charges are likely to be brought following the death of a woman strapped to a chair at a Cork nursing home last year.

Gardaí have completed their investigation into the death of Hannah Comber, a resident at Heatherside Hospital, near Buttevant, Co Cork, who suffocated after becoming entangled in straps binding her to a special chair on June 22.

However, it has emerged that the Health Service Executive (HSE) has still to interview any of the staff.
