AI-generated summary
Stanley Bruce Weaver, a 61-year-old firefighter with a history of depression and previous suicide attempts, died by hanging at his workplace on 26 August 2019. His wife had reported concerns about medication stockpiling and suicidal intent to police on 24 July 2019. Mental health assessment by Monash Health CAT Team on 25 July 2019 found no acute risk requiring involuntary treatment. Police served him with a Family Violence Intervention Order and firearms cancellation notice on 24 August 2019, after which he attended his workplace and died that night. The coroner found no deficiencies in mental health service provision but identified an opportunity for improved suspect welfare management by police when serving family violence documentation, particularly considering the elevated suicide risk of family violence perpetrators.
