Drunk man fell under van after refusing hospital treatment

A man who died when he fell under a newspaper delivery van on Belfast’s Westlink in the middle of the night had just discharged himself from hospital before being treated for injuries suffered in another drunken fall, an inquest heard today.

Unemployed chef Anthony Maguire, 35, was nearly five times over the drink-driving limit when he died several hours after a night out in October 2006.
