ELSIE DEVINE, 88

ELSIE Devine was 88 and weighed seven stone when she died in November 1 , after being ‘given enough drugs to lay out a 6ft violent man’, according to her family.

She had been admitted to Gosport a month earlier, recuperating after a urinary tract infection.

A coroner’s jury concluded that she had been given inappropriate medication at the hospital.

After the report into the deaths at the hospital was published yesterday, Mrs Devine’s granddaughter Bridget Reeves said there had been an ‘inexcusable failure’.

She added: ‘This sort of behaviour going on in our NHS is chilling. Those implicated must now face the full rigour of the criminal justice system.’
