Inquest into the death of Adam COBLE

AI-generated summary

Adam Coble died from a stab wound to the chest inflicted during an episode of interpersonal violence on 14 January 2019 in North Richmond, NSW. The fatal injury occurred during a violent altercation that escalated from a verbal argument about marital infidelity. Adam had discovered sexually explicit messages on his wife Robyn's phone, which prompted the argument. When Robyn's mother Kay arrived and intervened, Adam obtained a kitchen knife and attacked Kay, stabbing her multiple times in the neck, shoulder, and forearm. Robyn attempted to restrain Adam by placing him in a headlock. During the struggle, Kay managed to remove the knife from Adam's hand and, while defending herself, struck Adam in the chest with the knife. The wound caused transection of a lung, large artery, and bronchus, resulting in fatal blood loss and aspiration. This was a homicide finding based on the factual circumstances. There were no clinical intervention opportunities as death was instantaneous from catastrophic trauma.
