AI-generated summary
Robert Raymond Day, aged 62, died from metastatic prostate cancer while in prison custody. Diagnosed in 2013 with widespread bone, lymph node and liver metastases, he received high-standard palliative and oncological care including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and pain management through the Princess Alexandra Hospital and correctional centre services. He was transferred to hospital palliative care in January 2016 with terminal disease. The coroner found the medical care provided was of very high standard, appropriate, and met community benchmarks. No clinical errors, communication failures, or preventable factors were identified. The case demonstrates successful inter-disciplinary management of advanced cancer in a custodial setting.
