Thomas Hogan

Thomas Hogan was one of the Civilian Casualties of "Bloody Sunday" who died at Croke Park, Dublin on 21 November 1920, when British Forces opened fire on the players and spectators at a GAA football match being played by teams representing Dublin and Tipperary.

Son of Patrick Hogan and Eliza Hogan, formerly Collins, of Tankardstown, Bruree, Co. Limerick.

The following is the evidence of a doctor who treated him in hospital, after he had been brought there from Croke Park.

In the inquest on the death of Thomas Hogan, Dr Patrick Moran of the Mater Hospital stated:
"Thomas Hogan was admitted to this hospital at 4pm on November 21st. There was a small round wound 3⁄8 inch in diameter under the spine of the right scapula. There was a large round wound one inch in diameter just beneath the acromion process in front. This was apparently an exit wound. There were two other small wounds a quarter inch in diameter one inch above acromion process, and about an inch apart. These might have been caused by bone splinters. On admission the patient was bleeding profusely, and was in a state of severe collapse. The right arm was amputated on Monday, 22nd November. The shoulder joint was found to be completely disorganised. The head of the humerus was completely severed from the shaft and about 2 inches of the shaft was shattered. The auxiliary border of the scapula was also shattered. A small piece of nickel casing was found in the region of the shoulder joint. Gas gangrene set in after the operation and the patient died at 12.30 on November 26th. Death was in my opinion due to toxaemia following gas gangrene following gunshot wounds."
