Inquest into hotel CO poisoning adjourned

THE Health and Safety Authority (HSA) is still investigating the circumstances which led to the death of a young woman from carbon monoxide poisoning in a Cork hotel.

The inquest into the death of Miriam Reidy, 35, in Kinsale’s Trident Hotel last January, was adjourned this week pending the completion of the HSA probe.

The inquest into Ms Reidy’s death, which was opened last June, established that she died from acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in a room in the Trident Hotel on January 9 last.
