The Dublin city coroner warned about sudden death from heroin use yesterday at the inquest of a man who was said by his family to have been clean for 12 months.
The inquest heard that Brian Byrne (30), St John’s Road, Clondalkin, was taken to St James’s Hospital on October 17th last having been found in the toilets of the Harding Hotel on Fishamble Street with a syringe in his leg.
Mr Byrne was found by Nathan Towey, manager of the hotel. Mr Towey said that Mr Byrne did not appear to be breathing.
At St James’s Hospital he remained on a ventilator until his death on November 13th.
