Cork stab victim lost 'entire blood volume', court hears

A Cork man who was stabbed in the groin lost his entire volume of blood before being rushed into the operating theatre, a medical witness told a murder trial jury today.

Dr Eoin Sheehan, surgical registrar at the Mercy Hospital, Cork, told the Central Criminal Court that the victim, Mr Noel McCarthy had 'bled out' and developed multi- system organ failure which led to his death.
