Posted by A mother-of-three died after being electrocuted while holding a charging phone in the bath, an inquest has heard.
‘Fit and healthy’ Ann-Marie O’Gorman, 46, from Shanliss Avenue, Santry, Co Dublin, was pronounced dead at Beaumont Hospital on October 30, last year.
Her husband, Joe, gave evidence that he had left home at around 6.40pm that night to drop the couple’s youngest daughter, Megan, to her first disco in Portmarnock.
e told coroner Cróna Gallagher that he had a 23-second call with his wife at 7.58pm while driving home at a time he believed she might have already been in the bath. Mr O’Gorman said he later went into the bathroom to see his wife as she wanted to find out about how their daughter was doing.
He described how he found her lying on her side in the bath with no sign of any movement.
Mr O’Gorman said his wife was also unresponsive when he opened one of her eyelids. At that point, he noticed her iPhone and a cable in the bath, which he grabbed and threw in a sink.
Mr O’Gorman said he got a small electric shock as he was lifting his wife out of the bath before calling to his eldest daughter, Leah, to dial emergency services
