Man last seen alive by gravedigger

A father-of-one who absconded from a psychiatric unit on the grounds of a Dublin hospital was last seen alive by a gravedigger.

Alan Stanley, aged 41, of Brookmount, Tallaght, was found dead by his wife at Bohernabreena cemetery on March 22, 2014.

His mother, Marie Stanley, said she begged staff at Tallaght Hospital to admit her son to a secure psychiatric unit as she feared he would kill himself.
