Mother remembers son who lost life to Covid-19
The mother of a man who died from coronavirus has said it was very traumatic not to be with her son in his final moments. Adrian Bartley, from Navan in Co Meath, died on 31 March at Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown. The 52-year-old, who had Down's syndrome and dementia, had been living in a nursing home. He first became unwell in February and was treated in hospital for pneumonia. He initially tested negative for coronavirus, but was admitted to hospital again a few weeks later, where he tested positive. Mary Bartley Meehan has thanked those who helped them in their family bereavement.
