The court heard that on the evening of July 3rd, Ms Keville was at home with her husband Joseph Keville. Mr Keville had prepared the pie for his wife, whom he described to the court as being in “good form”. Ms Keville was then transferred to St James’s Hospital. Subsequent scans showed that Ms Keville had suffered “devastating” damage to her brain on account of “prolonged” cerebral hypoxia – a medical term for when the brain is starved of oxygen – during resuscitation efforts.
Coroner Dr Clare Keane said that, based on the evidence before the court, the cause of death was “certainly” anaphylaxis caused by a food allergen. Dr Keane said it was not possible to narrow down what precise food allergen had caused Ms Keville’s allergic reaction.
