Pathologist tells jury injection 'not related' to heart failure
The State pathologist has told a jury that an elderly man who was allegedly poisoned by a nurse died of heart failure that was not related to an injection he received from the accused.
Dr Marie Cassidy said the cause of Mr John Gethings’ death was heart failure due to lack of blood supply to the heart and heart muscle, a narrowing of the blood vessels and an enlargement of the heart.
