AI-generated summary
A 64-year-old man died of multi-organ failure secondary to metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung while serving a sentence on home detention. He had a significant cardiac history including bypass surgery and stent placements. Cancer was diagnosed in June 2015 while on home detention and treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy with palliative intent. He was discharged from hospital on 24 October 2015 under community palliative care for comfort measures only and died at home on 19 November 2015. The coroner found no material deficiency in his custodial care, noting that cardiac complications during imprisonment were appropriately managed with transfer to hospital for treatment. His death was from natural causes and was not unexpected given advanced palliative status.
