HSE warning as baby dies from suspected case of meningitis

A 14-MONTH-OLD baby from Co Monaghan has died after what the HSE says is a suspected case of meningitis.

The child, Aaron Hagan, from Threemilehouse, died in Temple Street Children’s Hospital in Dublin on Tuesday after he was taken ill on Monday. Neighbours say his parents, Stephen and Louise, who live at Gortnana, Threemilehouse, are “devastated at the loss of baby Aaron”.

The Hagan family suffered another tragedy last October when Kieran Hagan, an uncle of Aaron’s, was one of five young men from Threemilehouse who died in a car crash.
