AI-generated summary
Mr BB, a 29-year-old male, fatally assaulted his de facto partner Ms AA with a weight plate while she slept, then jumped from a 23-storey building. The relationship, which began in June 2020, progressed rapidly during COVID-19 lockdowns. Mr BB had presented to his GP in July 2019 with lethargy and withdrawal (K10 score 16), and in December 2019 with anxiety and low mood following a marijuana reaction (K10 score 18). He was referred to a psychologist who diagnosed anxiety and low mood related to relationship difficulties and work stress. No prior family violence was reported. The coroner found no prevention opportunities in healthcare provision. Police communication protocols were reviewed; while a phone triangulation was considered, the 11-minute window before Mr BB's death made interception unlikely. The death represents an intimate partner homicide followed by suicide.
