The incident involved seriously ill Covid-19 patient, Joe McCarron (67), who was helped to leave hospital, against medical advice, by Antonio Mureddu.
In a video, which was widely shared on social media at the time, Mureddu, was seen urging Joe McCarron to leave LUH, in spite of the fact medical staff insisting he still required treatment for Covid-19.
Mr McCarron returned to LUH two days later, but died soon after from the illness.
