There was a death at Carrical this evening. Dennis Donovan, 71, died onsite at about 8.00pm having collapsed, presumably with a massive heart attack, at about 6.45pm. Paramedics worked so hard to revive Dennis (having replaced Amanda and residents when they turned up) but eventually had to accept the inevitable. Dennis had been at Carrical for at least 16 years – he was there as I started in 1998. A very gentle man who said very little but was greatly respected Dennis will be greatly missed. So very sad to see one more of the real old timers at Carrical pass away. It is some consolation that he died in his home and that he was surrounded by folks whom I think Dennis called his family.
