AI-generated summary
Warrick Francis O'Donnell, 50, a resident of Specialist Disability Accommodation managed by Scope Australia in Coburg, was found less responsive on 4 July 2026 at his residential facility. Ambulance Victoria transported him to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where a CT scan revealed a middle and anterior cerebral artery infarction incompatible with life. He was transitioned to comfort care and died on 12 July 2026 with family present. The coroner accepted the pathologist's opinion that death was from natural causes, finding no evidence of injury or contributing factors. As he was in Specialist Disability Accommodation, his death was reportable to the coroner, but being from natural causes, no inquest was required.
