Family calls for more research into anti-depressants

THE family of a respected businessman who died suddenly during his recovery from depression has urged Irish doctors to conduct more research into anti-depressants.

Nicholas (Nico) Maguire’s sisters made the call at Cork City Coroner’s Court after the city’s deputy coroner, Philip Comyn, returned an open verdict in relation to their brother’s tragic death.

Mr Maguire, aged 52, from Lindville, on Blackrock Road in Cork, ran Abbeyside & Co, a successful construction and interior fit-out firm.
