How did Dermott Donnelly die?

Update: Dermott Donnelly was scarcely breathing in the bed, it was that terrible, according to friend and colleague Father Peter Kyi Maung, who served at St. Joseph’s Church in Stanley, Co. Durham, where Dermott resided.

They believe he suffered from cerebral haemorrhaging (Brain internal bleed). Declan had travelled to be with him, and their mother was there as well. I spoke to their mother in the hospital, and I could tell how difficult it was for her to witness her dying son.

“When she hugged me, I could tell how much pain she was in.”

Dermott, who he called “a very excellent, loving priest,” had recently marked his 30th anniversary of priesthood, according to Fr. Maung. It is thought that while working at the youth village, Dermott complained of a headache before eventually collapsing.

Disclaimer: If you are having a severe headache, vomiting, guiddiness, difficulty in speaking and difficulty in using limbs out of nowhere, these are warning signs of Haemorrhagic stroke (Stroke due to internal brain bleed). Beware and rush to the hospital as soon as possible. At this time your Intra Cranial pressure will be on a hike. That needs to be restored otherwise vitals will collapse.

Previously,

Declan Donnelly expressed his “beyond devastation” at the death of his “darling” brother, who was rushed to the hospital with a “mystery disease” and passed away at age 55.

Following reports that the 46-year-old Saturday Night Takeaway presenter went to be by his brother’s side when the latter fainted and became “very ill” in the hospital, the news was released.

According to reports, he was declared “very unwell” at North Durham Hospital after collapsing and being transported there.

Following the event, it is said that Donnelly was “very sick,” and parishioners were asked to pray for him before their next gathering.

“There will be a moment before the Blessed Sacrament tomorrow evening from 6 to 7 p.m. so that we can assemble as a community in St. Joseph’s Church to pray for Father Dermott’s well-being.

Please respect Father Dermott and his family at this trying time. We will keep you informed as soon as we have the most recent information that has been confirmed by the diocese.

The Sun was informed by a source that Dec came with other family members. At the hospital, there are around 12 of them. Everyone is simply hoping he survives because it happened so suddenly.

Sadly, a statement just came out to confirm his passing.

Who is Dermott Donnelly?

Declan’s brother Father Dermott is eight years older.

He is believed to have served as a priest for thirty years.

In a celebrity-studded ceremony in Newcastle in 2015, he officiated his renowned brother’s marriage to Ali Astall.

Prior to being requested by the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle to establish a youth outreach program that aimed to introduce underprivileged youth to the Catholic Church, he worked as a curate in Chester-le-Street.

Before establishing the Global Youth Village Centre in 2010 with the assistance of his brother and Dec’s friend Ant McPartlin, he even overhauled the Youth Ministry Team.

Donnelly regularly attended his brother’s normally London-based shows, and the presenter frequently traveled to the region to attend Mass and check on the youth projects that had been the priest’s labor of love since the 1990s.

Dec, one of seven children, was reared on the Cruddas Park estate in Newcastle alongside his siblings Camelia, Patricia, Moira, and sisters Martin, Eamonn, and Dermott.

Despite his great achievement, he once admitted that he briefly considered a career in the church before deciding it wasn’t for him.
