AI-generated summary
Gregory Allen Floyd, aged 43, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following the killing of his partner Ora Holt. In the months preceding the deaths, Mr Floyd exhibited delusional beliefs that Ms Holt was having affairs, abusing prescription codeine, and reporting him to authorities—beliefs without any evidentiary basis. He engaged in coercive controlling behaviour, stalking, sexual coercion, emotional abuse, and financial control. Mr Floyd accessed general practice and social worker support, disclosing relationship concerns but not explicit homicidal ideation. While he denied harming Ms Holt when interviewed, clinicians did not adequately verify his serious allegations against her or assess family violence risk. A mental health assessment post-mortem indicated possible delusional disorder. The coroner identified that clinicians lacked adequate tools and training to recognise perpetrator-focused risk factors, and recommended that general practitioners develop better protocols for assessing and responding to potential family violence perpetrators presenting with blame-focused narratives.
