Gardaí investigate death of seriously malnourished woman

The Gardaí and the HSE have reportedly begun separate investigations into the death of a middle-aged Co Wexford woman who was admitted to hospital with severe malnourishment on New Year's Day.

Reports this morning said the 58-year-old woman had been bed-bound in her home in Enniscorthy as a result of arthritis and another illness, believed to be multiple sclerosis.
