AI-generated summary
Andrew Shaun McKenna died from catastrophic head, chest, pelvis and limb injuries sustained in a single-vehicle motorcycle crash on 29 November 2020. He was disqualified from riding motorcycles, significantly affected by alcohol and cannabis at the time, and lost control crossing into the wrong lane before hitting a gutter and pole. The injuries were unsurvivable despite paramedic attendance. There is no medical management or clinical care failure documented. The coroner found insufficient evidence of suicide despite a documented past suicide attempt and apparent agitation before the crash. No clinical lessons or medical recommendations were made.
