Patient in 30s allegedly attacked fellow patient (89) in Mercy University Hospital

Gardaí have requested the services of the State Pathologist’s Office and it’s expected that Assistant State Pathologist, Dr Margot Bolster, will carry out a postmortem on the deceased later.

“There are a lot of very distressed people as we gather that some other patients were in the ward at the time and some nurses may also have seen what happened,” said one garda source. The man, who is also from Churchfield, is being detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act which allows gardaí to detain suspects for up to 24 hours before they have to be charged or released.

Omg poor man 💔,what a truly horrible way to having your life end,my thoughts are with his poor family,God bless them🌹

Gonna take a wild stab in the dark here and say the murderer is newtotheparish

Just horrific. RIP. Let this be the turning point for a system and a society that is rotting 🙏

While everyone was locked in their homes for Covid, the evil overlords were moving thousands of fighting age men into every town, men who are not interested in actually working but rather hanging around in public to grope, film and attack.

Please tell me this is a joke? What type of vile creature beats an elderly patient.

People getting raped in Irish hospitals, now we have people being beaten to death,where is going to end.

If Klaus and Soros said to fix the health system you'd bet Leo the minion would have it fixed in the morning

PRINT WHO DID IT AND NATIONALITY.

There's a mental health ward in the Mercy hospital in Cork City. 'Maybe' the tragic incident happened there.

Happy Sunday! Anyone feel like our country has gone off the deep end? Guards getting their fingers BITTEN off, stranger rapes, and now this? Who says we need single sex wards!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

We go to hospital to be treated not mistreated

O my good God ..words fail me . What is happening to our country?

Something similar happened in Cavan hospital a few years ago, some schizo was put in with an old man. Criminal negligence by the doctors imo, but nothing happened.

What the hell is happening in this country?

How fukkin low is this country going to go. Already scraping the underside of the barrel

Wtf now patients are not safe in their own beds in hospital.

I wonder if Harris pop his head up calling for witnesses for this one ? Shocking society Ireland has become.

Rest in peace 🙏 poor man
