Since his wife Nuala lost her life three years ago after a brain haemorrhage, Jim Lawless has been on a quest to get answers about how and why she died. This is his story as told to
FIONA TYRRELL
JUST NINE days after celebrating her 49th birthday in late December 2004 my wife Nuala collapsed at home. Our eldest son Jim immediately began to resuscitate her on the kitchen floor.
Although she had stopped breathing, Nuala had a strong pulse. Jim applied mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for 20-25 minutes, as we awaited the arrival of the Dublin Fire Brigade ambulance.
