Old Bailey bomber Dolours Price-Rea died as a result of the toxic effect of a mix of prescribed sedative and anti-depressant medications, an inquest has heard.

Ms Price-Rea, 62, was found dead in bed by her son at their home at St Margaret’s Road in Malahide, Co Dublin, on January 23, 2013.

She achieved public notoriety as a member of the Provisional IRA unit which carried out the bombing of the Old Bailey in London in 1973.
