Assault victim suffered 'catastrophic brain haemorrhage'
A Vietnamese victim of an assault in Temple Bar suffered a "catastrophic brain haemorrhage" after he was kicked and punched in the head during a row with two men, a doctor told a jury at the Central Criminal court today.
Clinical anaethesist at St. James Hospital, Dr Carl Fagan, told a murder trial jury this morning that when he first saw Ly Minh Luong (aged 50) he was on a life support machine in the intensive care unit. "When I first saw him, he was on a life support machine. He required that to remain alive".
