Cause of death
Multiple injuries sustained from impact with the ground from an extended height in tandem with abdominal stab wounds
AI-generated summary
A 4-month-old boy fell from a third-floor balcony on 14 July 2015 in Melbourne, resulting in multiple injuries including abdominal stab wounds. His mother, despite experiencing postpartum depression and social isolation (with only one friend in Australia), had no identified mental health issues at the four-week postnatal check. She died by suicide within days of the child's death. The coroner found the child died from injuries sustained in the fall. While maternal and child health services appropriately screened for postnatal depression per guidelines, the service lacked specific protocols to assess social support and isolation, which are recognized risk factors for perinatal mental health complications.
