    Report summary

    Stephen Taylor experienced worsening mental distress linked to work and financial concerns, with escalating risk indicators and repeated contact with health services. He died on 26 May 2025 after deliberately jumping from Louisa Bay Cliffs. The principal concerns were the lack of coordinated escalation and ownership of risk across services, reliance on his denial of immediate intent despite other risk indicators, routine rather than urgent referrals, and the absence of a same-day urgent face-to-face assessment despite family concerns.
