Gardaí investigating the activities of a nurse suspended from Naas General Hospital expect to receive within days the results of toxicology tests carried out on the body of a man exhumed from a graveyard in Baltinglass, Co Wicklow, at the end of last month.
Samples taken during a post-mortem on Mr John Gethings after his remains were exhumed on July 25th were tested to determine the amount of medication in his system at the time of his death in March.
Allegations have been made against the nurse over the manner in which she was administering drugs to patients.
