Groom shot on Antigua honeymoon dies in hospital
· Life support machine switched off after tests
· Tributes paid to newlywed victims of hotel attack
Rachel Williams The Guardian, Monday August 4 2008
Ben Mullany, the newlywed who was shot on honeymoon in Antigua in an attack that killed his wife, Catherine, died in hospital in Wales yesterday after his life support machine was switched off.
The 31-year-old trainee physiotherapist, who had suffered a fractured skull and had a bullet lodged in the back of his head, was flown back to Britain while in a coma on Saturday. Tests carried out when his condition stabilised after the 24-hour journey established he was brain dead.
He was being treated in the same intensive care unit, at Morriston hospital, Swansea, where Catherine Mullany, also 31, conducted part of her training as a doctor. She died instantly in the shooting when intruders burst into the couple's holiday cottage at a hilltop hotel on the last day of their honeymoon on the Caribbean island. Her body was flown back to the UK on a separate flight, accompanied by her parents.
