The Department of Health has been in contact with the RCSI Hospital Group which covers Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda. The Hospital Group advises that it may be several weeks before the post mortem report is available - if toxicology tests are required this will lengthen the process. A death cannot be registered until a post mortem report is received. I am advised that queries relating to post mortem results should be made to the relevant Coroner’s Office, rather than to the hospital involved.
