Kildare county coroner Dr Denis Cusack, speaking in Naas on Monday about plans for an inquest into the death of Karen McEvoy (24), referred to the 2013 inquest into Savita Halappanavar’s death. The initial pathology report into Ms McEvoy’s death says she too died of sepsis. He took issue with The Irish Times’ reporting on Ms McEvoy’s death, on January 31st, 2019, under the headline: “Woman (24) who died a week after giving birth had sepsis, says coroner”. It has been provided by Dr Cusack to Mr Kelly through his solicitor. Dr Cusack said the article was “incorrect” as neither he nor his court had delivered a verdict on the medical cause of Ms McEvoy’s death.
