Donaghmore woman ‘didn’t die from coronavirus’

Caroline McGeary (62) from Donaghmore had a number of serious underlying conditions when she died at Craigavon Hospital last month.
 
Mrs McGeary’s daughter, Kelly, said she was ‘”maddened and upset” by what had happened.

The Southern Trust said it could not and would not comment on individual cases.
