However, Ms Johnston – who presented at University Hospital Limerick on the evening of December 17th, 2022, with suspected sepsis – waited over 15 hours to be given vital antibiotics. This was despite her having been triaged as a Category 2 patient, which meant she should have been seen by a doctor within 10 to 15 minutes.
Ms Johnston eventually died on December 19th at UHL. The formal cause of death, given by pathologist Dr Terezia Lazlo, was purulent meningitis.
