Family not told of autopsy on body
Mary Gordon, whose mother Mary Murphy, 95, from Mount Pleasant Avenue in Cork, died after a fall, told Cork City Coroner’s Court her family found out about the postmortem from a funeral home director later.
Assistant city coroner Philip Comyn thanked the family for raising the issue. He said doctors treating Ms Murphy should have informed them about the postmortem. He would write to hospital authorities about the matter.
