• Man jailed for manslaughter of hospital patient in Cork Manslaughter (by reason of diminished responsibility) · Co. Cork

  Matthew Healy, an 88-year-old retired farmer from Berrings, Co Cork, was punched more than 20 times while sleeping in his hospital bed by fellow patient Dylan Magee, a 33-year-old man from Churchfield Green, Cork, at Mercy University Hospital on 22 January 2023. Magee was arrested at the scene and charged with murder, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility. A jury at the Central Criminal Court in Cork found him guilty of that charge in December 2025. In April 2026, Judge Siobhan Lankford sentenced Magee to 13 years in jail with the final year suspended.
