An inquest has heard claims that an infection that caused the sudden and unexpected death of a healthy young Dublin teenager was present when he visited his family doctor two days before he died.
A sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court also heard the boy’s parents express regret they were unaware about the symptoms of sepsis at the time of his death five years ago.
Seán Hughes (15) of Cardiff Castle Road, Finglas, died at Children’s Health Ireland at Temple Street on January 12, 2018 – just hours after collapsing at his home from a cardiac arrest.
