Cocaine played key role in death of two men, coroner’s court told

COCAINE was instrumental in the deaths of two men in two separate incidents, the coroner’s court in Dublin heard yesterday.

A 22-year-old man who took “a small amount” of cocaine while on a night out before Christmas, died from cocaine induced cardiac failure. Another 48-year-old man with a cocaine addiction problem was found dead in bed by his son in February.

The coroner’s court heard that Sean Walsh, aged 22, of 31 Fortfield Road, Terenure was pronounced dead at Tallaght hospital at 2pm on December 22, 2006.
