Our Sorcha King was instructed by the family of the late Roy Butler at a three-day inquest before the Cork City Coroner, Mr Philip Comyn.

Roy Butler was 23-years-old when he received the Jcovden (previously COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen) on 12 August 2021.

Text messages read into evidence during the inquest showed he complained to friends and family over the course of the next few days; feeling groggy, fatigued and having headaches.

On 16 August 2021, he texted his mother to come up to his bedroom, where he was found in bed convulsing and vomiting.

He was brought by ambulance to Waterford University Hospital, and subsequently transferred to Cork University Hospital where he died on 17 August 2021. He had suffered a catastrophic intercranial bleed.

The Coroner has retired to consider his verdict.
