Medication overdose suspected in Wexford deaths

Gardaí believe a couple who were found dead at their home in Co Wexford suffered an accidental overdose of prescription medication.

Gardaí found prescribed morphine tablets beside the couple named as Stephen de Loughry and his fiancée Melissa Giltrap in their bedroom at a house in the village of Clonroche.

The Irish Examiner understands the morphine had previously been prescribed as pain relief to Mr de Loughry’s mother, who died a number of years ago.
