AI-generated summary
Anthony Charles Eura, a 42-year-old Aboriginal man with long-standing mental health problems, alcohol and drug dependency, and chronic suicidality, disappeared in November 2006 and is presumed deceased. In the month before disappearance, he presented to Perth hospitals twice with self-harm, suicidal ideation, and acute distress following news of his brother's death. He was assessed as having alcohol abuse, personality disorder, and chronic suicide risk. Medical staff documented that his symptoms were predominantly behavioural and intoxication-related rather than requiring antipsychotic medication. He received depot antipsychotic treatment for years despite clinical doubt about its necessity. No effective rehabilitation for alcohol abuse was engaged. He was last seen after police release on 1 November 2006 in Kununurra and has not accessed services since, strongly suggesting death in November 2006.
