AI-generated summary
Sue Hui Wang, a 15-year-old student, died from compression of the neck between 16-19 September 2010 at her home in Balwyn, Victoria. The coroner found the exact circumstances of death unknown, unable to determine definitively whether Sue died by intentional self-harm or injuries inflicted by her mother, Li Zhen Gao, who died by suicide in the garage. Sue's death occurred in the context of acute family stress following her parents' separation on 22 July 2010. Sue showed emotional distress in the preceding weeks but had no prior mental health interventions or documented safety assessment. Medical practitioners who saw her mother in the weeks before death did not identify or escalate the risk to Sue, and no welfare check was conducted despite the mother's evident emotional crisis and lack of coping.
