Family plea as coroner considers Club Anabel death

THE family of student Brian Murphy who died after being assaulted outside a Dublin nightclub today sought the materials State Pathologist Marie Cassidy used to determine his cause of death.

After issues arose earlier this year over conflicting views on the cause of death of the 18-year-old, Dublin City Coroner Dr Brian Farrell said it would be clarified at an early stage in the inquest.

It emerged there were stark differences of opinion on the cause of death between retired State Pathologist Prof John Harbison and Dr Cassidy who later examined the materials and drew up a report.
