At a sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court on Friday, former State pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy said that Joshua suffered a linear fracture to the skull “consistent with the time frame” that the infant collapsed and stopped breathing at his home in Bohola, Co Mayo, on December 28th, 2016. Mr Murray, who also lived at the address, told the court that he last saw his son on December 27th, before sleeping overnight at his then place of work, a hotel on Achill Sound.
The infant’s cause of death was recorded as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy due to an acute apneic episode, due to head trauma. The baby’s premature birth – he was born at 27 weeks gestation – and his infection with a coronavirus were listed as contributory factors by Dr Cassidy.
