A homeless woman living in a tent and addicted to prescription medicines was hoping to get into rehab when she died in Cork, an inquest has heard today. Cork City Coroner Philip Comyn returned a verdict of death by misadventure after hearing Ms Dennehy was planning to get into rehab for her addiction. Ian Drummy (27) told the inquest he had befriended Ms Dennehy when she was still living at the flat on Western Road and she gave him a key. When he noticed that Ms Dennehy had not moved, he called her name and shook her but she still did not move. Solicitor for Ms Dennehy family, Martin Harvey, thanked Mr Comyn and said his clients also wanted to thank the emergency services and gardaí .
