Questions as suicide victim is laid to rest

THE funeral will take place tomorrow of the Co Limerick man who committed suicide hours after being allowed home from the psychiatric wing of the Mid-Western Regional Hospital.

Patrick Cregan, 56, was found dead at his rented house in Carrickerry on Tuesday afternoon.

The previous day, a doctor and a garda had arranged for him to be admitted as an involuntary patient after he was found in a distressed state with signs of a suicide attempt in his house.
