Coroner issues warning over steroid use at inquest into death of sports-mad Limerick teen

A coroner has issued a stark warning about the potentially lethal dangers of taking anabolic steroids after hearing details about the tragic death of a fit and healthy sports-mad teenager.

Cork City Coroner Philip Comyn returned a verdict of misadventure today after an inquest was told how the muscle-building steroid, stanozolol, contributed to the death of Luke O'Brien-May, 17, from Grange, Kilmallock, Co Limerick, last year.
