Deaths ‘not due to super-strength heroin’
Cork City Coroner’s Court heard that Gary O’Sullivan, aged 30, and Gavin Thompson, aged 26, who died within hours of each other on Oct 4, died from polydrug use, in association with the ingestion of heroin and alcohol.
Their deaths triggered a major public health alert when medics feared a batch of super-concentrated heroin may have been available on Cork’s streets.
