Family ‘in the dark’ over woman’s death

THE family of a woman who died alone in a hospital toilet are still in the dark as to what happened to her — nine months later.

Beverly Seville-Doyle, 39, died in the Mater Hospital in Dublin last January while waiting for a bed in the accident and emergency department.

The diabetic and mother-of-three had attended a clinic in the Mater Private Hospital. She was feeling unwell and the consultant decided to keep her in hospital overnight for observation. Although she was a private patient, she was told there was no bed available for her. She was referred to the A&E department that evening where she was assigned a chair and put on a drip.
