Warnings over danger of heroin after man’s death

A CORONER and the assistant State pathologist both issued very strong warnings yesterday about the lethal dangers of heroin after an inquest into the death of a promising young apprentice.

“Heroin is an incredibly dangerous and lethal drug,” Cork’s city coroner Dr Myra Cullinane said.

“Young people must be made aware that they cannot indulge in it without huge attendant risks. We are aiming to raise this awareness in the coroner’s court.”
