I will not foreshadow the inquiries
that are being undertaken by expert witnesses and I will not detail who those
expert witnesses are, but there is a very thorough investigation into the
circumstances leading to KS's tragic death. Also, in the meantime,
there has been a review of the circumstances leading up to KS's death
by the Office of the Chief Psychiatrist,
who, as the member knows, in December last year published a 59-page report on
the circumstances leading to it.
