Mark Andrew Harvey, a 55-year-old NDIS participant with end-stage renal failure, died at Latrobe Regional Hospital on 17 July 2023. He resided in Specialist Disability Accommodation with support for daily functions including ileostomy management.

The investigation highlights the importance of scrutinising deaths of vulnerable people in institutional care settings, even when natural causes are established.
