Maegan O’Mahoney, a 30-year-old mother of two, died at home hours after hospital staff declared her fit for discharge. Her family expresses concern over the circumstances surrounding her death, alleging that her blood sugar levels were dangerously low upon arrival at the hospital but she was cleared to leave despite her agitated state.
The death of a 30-year-old woman whose condition deteriorated within hours of hospital staff declaring her medically fit for discharge has been referred to the coroner.
It was unlike her, said Sammy Jayne Terry, O'Mahoney's stepsister, who described her as 'quite a shy girl' who did not like to draw attention to herself. 'The kids are very young, so they don't really understand; in a way, it's better that they don't understand this sadness, I suppose. But they have to try and understand that mummy is not coming back, and that's very difficult.'
'We don't know whether the hospital missed something. The fact that they were trying to send her home on the Saturday morning is a major concern to us, and very confusing.'

'It is very touching,' he said of the money raised. 'I have never asked for anything. Everyone has been quite generous. we want to know what happened to her.
