Man ‘never recovered from death of partner’

A man who lost his partner in a Luas accident never recovered after her death, an inquest has heard.

Owen Kirwan, from Darndale in Dublin was heartbroken after the loss of his partner Ann Marie McQuillan, 32, who was hit by the tram as it pulled into the Blackhorse platform in Inchicore on June 28, 2012.

Previously, Dublin Coroner’s Court heard how Ms McQuillan was caught between the platform and the tram and sustained serious head and body injuries. A jury ruled her death was accidental.
