Life Jacket Kills Man
AN AVID sailor died in front of his horrified wife when the brand-new lifejacket that should have saved him malfunctioned and dragged him under the waves where he drowned.
Grandmother Ella Sweeney (69) sobbed yesterday as she told the High Court that the faulty lifejacket, which cost her beloved husband, Jack (64), his life, had also destroyed her existence.
Mrs Sweeney stood helpless on the shore at Blackrock in Cork harbour as she watched her husband battle in vain to keep his head above water — and she still has nightmares about his agonised cries for help as he was swept away on the tide to his death.
