Family settle nervous shock case against HSE over death of 24-year-old son

The parents of the young musician claimed they were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the death of their son.

It was claimed there was an alleged failure to provide a reasonable mental health service to Alec Rea.

The family of a 24-year-old Donegal musician who died by suicide five years ago has settled for €200,000 a High Court nervous shock action over his death.

The settlement is without an admission of liability.
