Cork maternal death inquest adjourned as family seek judicial review

Inquest into death of Geraldine Yankeu at Cork University Maternity Hospital following death of her stillborn daughter was due to take place on April 18

In August 2022, the Irish Examiner quoted the Cork city coroner Philip Comyn's office as saying the deaths of both Geraldine Yankeu and her daughter Mary 'were treated as natural and no inquest was required'.

An inquest into the death of a woman following a stillbirth in Cork will not go ahead next week after a request from her family to seek a judicial review was granted by the High Court.

Geraldine Yankeu, 31, died at Cork University Maternity Hospital in August 2021, following the birth of her stillborn daughter Mary. Both were taken to Ms Yankeu’s native Cameroon for burial.
