AI-generated summary
Kelvin Gardoll, a 61-year-old man, died in custody from lung carcinoma on 4 August 2014 at Long Bay Correctional Complex Hospital. He had presented with a skin lesion that was excised in 2010 (histologically confirmed as squamous cell carcinoma in situ), but subsequently developed extensive lung lesions consistent with primary squamous cell lung carcinoma, likely related to his significant smoking history. The coroner found his medical care was appropriate, including joint management with Long Bay Hospital and Prince of Wales Hospital Palliative Care Team. An Advanced Care Directive for no resuscitation was in place and regularly reviewed. The death was from natural causes with no systemic failures identified. The coroner emphasised that family expressed satisfaction with his care and detected no suspicious circumstances.
