AI-generated summary
Wayne Thomas Pistrucci, a 56-year-old man with cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, end-stage renal failure, and liver disease, died from end-stage renal failure on 9 December 2024. He was living in Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) with 24-hour support from Possability. From late October 2024, his health progressively deteriorated, including declining kidney and liver function, increased fatigue, and reduced oral intake with frequent vomiting. A Community Palliative Care nurse assessed him on 1 November and created a palliative care plan for comfort care. By early December, he displayed signs of distress and discomfort. On 6 December, his support staff contacted his GP, Dr S., who assessed him and identified he was actively dying and required higher-level symptom management. He was transferred to the palliative care ward at Bacchus Marsh Hospital for end-of-life care and died on 9 December 2024. The coroner found this was a natural death with no further investigation required.
