Conor Cronin (26) was discovered lying on the ground near Albert College Park on Ballymun Road, Glasnevin around lunchtime on November 4, 2020
A young Dublin man who died after suffering a fall while out jogging near his home had head injuries that were more consistent with someone who had been involved in a road traffic collision or a fall from a significant height, an inquest has heard.Mr Cronin was brought by ambulance to the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital but was transferred the following day to Beaumont Hospital for emergency surgery to reduce pressure on his brain after his condition deteriorated.
The second day of an inquest into his death at Dublin District Coroner’s Court on Thursday heard evidence from pathologist Alan Beausang who carried out a post-mortem on the body of the deceased. However, Dr Beausang said there had not been a sustained period of low sodium levels and most of his findings were attributable to traumatic brain injuries arising from the fall.
Concluding the case, Dr Keane attributed the cause of death to swelling of the brain due to a traumatic injury suffered as a result of the fall that arose from “a hypoglycemic episode.” Dr Keane said she also welcomed indications that a system using hands-free technology was being trialled that would allow surgeons in theatre to be consulted in relation to other patients.
