Model Still Seriously Ill
Model Katy French is still in a serious condition in hospital, following her collapse at a house in Co Meath on Sunday.
Ms French, who turned 24 last week, was taken to hospital after collapsing at a party at a friend's house in Ashbourne in the early hours of Sunday morning.
She is being treated at Our Lady's Hospital in Navan and it is understood that she has not regained consciousness since being admitted. Family and friends are keeping a vigil at her bedside.
It has been reported that the model has suffered a series of heart attacks.
Speaking on Wednesday morning, a spokesperson for the Health Service Executive said: "The HSE would like to confirm that Katy French remains seriously ill."
The cause of the model's illness is not known and neither the HSE nor the hospital will confirm the nature of the illness.
According to reports, Ms French had admitted taking cocaine from the age of 19, but said that she had given up the drug and had highlighted the dangers of taking it.
Last Thursday, Ms French celebrated her 24th birthday with a party at Krystle nightclub in Dublin.
A friend of Ms French, Sara Kavanagh, a fellow model who works for the same agency, attended the party and told reporters that there were no signs of any drug-taking at the party.
Ms French recently boosted her profile with an appearance on RTÉ's 'Celebrities Go Wild' programme.
