Millionaire d!es a DAY after marrying girlfriend; she stands to inherit £4.77m

A millionaire farmer who d!ed just a day after marrying his girlfriend has been embalmed with “undue haste” an inquest has heard

Joseph Grogan 75, d!ed a day after marrying his girlfriend Lisa Flaherty, 50, in April 2023.

Flaherty now stands to inherit Joseph’s 220 acre farm in Screggan, Tullamore, Co Offaly, which is valued at €5.5 million (£4.77 million).

Mr Grogan was diagnosed in early January 2023 with stage 4, high grade non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

He underwent four rounds of chemotherapy, developing infections after two of them.

But, the court heard he had been responding well to treatment.

Mr Grogen d!ed at his home at around 3pm on April 15, 2023, a day after marrying Ms Flaherty at a registry office.

The coroner said Mr Grogan’s de.ath was likely due to a “probability of infection” with his immune system compromised.

But he was embalmed within a matter of hours, a time frame Coroner Raymond Mahon said made it difficult to determine a definitive cause of de.ath.
