A young woman with mental health and addiction issues, evicted from a flat after losing her rent allowance, was found dead in a tent in Cork City after taking a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs. Mr Drummey said the couple were sleeping in a tent in various locations around the city. He ran to a nearby house to raise the alarm, and went back to the tent and cradled Ms Dennehy’s head in his lap. Dr Bolster said there was no evidence of significant trauma or natural disease, and no traces of alcohol in Ms Dennehy’s system. Mr Comyn said a verdict of misadventure was appropriate and he offered sympathies to Ms Dennehy’s family.
