Removal of father who lost two children in Devon road crash

Connie Twomey and his wife Elber, from Meelin, Co Cork, suffered serious injuries in the collision last July, in which their one- year-old son Oisín, died. Elber was five months pregnant with Oisín’s unborn sister, who died in hospital and was named Elber Marie.

In August, the couple were transferred from an English hospital to Cork University Hospital, where Mr Twomey, 39, had remained since. The construction worker passed away late on Friday night.
