Healthy man’s death mystery 2 years on NO EVIDENCE JAB CAUSED ISSUES
The UK this month agreed to send 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine to bolster the country’s war effort.
Yesterday, a British ex-soldier who helped liberate Kherson for Ukraine revealed he is “over the moon” at his country’s move — but claimed “a lot of lives could have been saved” if the West had acted sooner.
Christopher Perryman explained: “All these vehicles will aid in pushing the [Russian] front line back.”
A MYSTERY still surrounds the unexplained death of a 57-year-old male at his Dublin home two years ago, an inquest had heard.
A sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court yesterday heard post-mortem results could not provide any medical reason for the death of John “Jack” Ryan in his rented flat on New Cabra Road in Phibsboro on May 27, 2021.
Although the deceased’s brother, Des Ryan, informed the inquest that his late brother had received a Covid-19 vaccine about two to three weeks before he died, the coroner, Clare Keane, said there was no evidence to suggest the vaccine was a contributory factor in his death.
Mr Ryan said it was something he had thought about as he had read reports that there were some links between the vaccine and deaths in older people but he acknowledged it was “very difficult to determine.”
Dr Keane also stated there was no evidence to suggest Mr Ryan, who came originally from Clerihan, Co Tipperary, had died as a result of foul play or suicide.
Body
The inquest heard gardaí were alerted by Mr Ryan’s landlady, Leanne Brady, to the discovery of her tenant’s body in his bedroom at around lunchtime on May 27, 2021.
In a statement, Garda Mark Campbell said Ms Brady explained that two other tenants had broken down the door of Mr Ryan’s flat as they had been concerned that he had not been seen over the previous few days.
Mr Ryan told the inquest that he had not seen his brother since around the time of their mother’s first anniversary in 2010 but had spoken to him about six months before his death and had also tried to contact him at Christmas in 2020.
His sister, Maria Ryan, said she had spoken to her late brother about three weeks before his death when he had seemed in “pretty good health” apart from some aches and pains.
Returning an open verdict, Dr Keane apologised to Mr Ryan’s family that the inquest was unable to establish a definite cause of death, saying: “It was an out of the blue event and it is impossible to say anything more.”
Dylan Redmond BL, for the State, told the court yesterday that the trial judge had identified three years’ imprisonment as a headline sentence but after reviewing mitigating circumstances reduced the sentence to 18 months before suspending it entirely.
Counsel said that it was the DPP’s view that a specific deterrent should be imposed regarding O’Reilly’s sentence.
James Dwyer SC, for O’Reilly, said the money was not a result of “some hotbed of criminal activity”.
Mr Justice George Birmingham said the court would reserve its judgement in the matter.
