Man’s organs wasted away on junk food diet

A man who lived on wine, Pringles, chocolate, and Coca-Cola died after his internal organs wasted away as a result of his poor diet, an inquest heard.

Fionn Clarke, aged 30, was found dead at his apartment on Melville Way in Finglas, Dublin 11, on Sept 11 last year. He had been dead for at least a week.

Dublin Coroner’s Court heard that he suffered from depression and alcoholism and was a near recluse who had largely cut himself off from his family.
