Dead man's family hit out at Spanish authorities

Friends of an Irish man who died over a year after receiving serious head injuries while holidaying in Alicante tonight blasted Spanish authorities for failing to help them locate him for over 24 hours.

The family of John Coffey, 60, from Gosworth Park, Dalkey, Co Dublin was not immediately notified that he was in a coma after a fall as his friends could not find which hospital he was in.
