Daughter of UHL patient says he 'died with no dignity'

The daughter of a man who may have been dead for over an hour at University Hospital Limerick before being found on the floor by staff has said she does not know if she will ever get over him dying"with no dignity".

Ms Abbott said that she had raised concerns about her father’s condition with hospital staff on the evening that he died. She said that the family went straight to the hospital and were told in a phone call that Mr Abbott had"a turn". She said there was a need for reviews and examinations of how hospitals"do things and how they communicate".
