The coroner's concerns
1. failure to recognise prolonged refusal to eat or drink as suicide risk
“Initial and all subsequent assessments seriously fail to recognise that [the deceased]'s prolonged choice not to eat or drink were in fact indications of 'action' to end his own life and therefore he should have been considered as a suicide risk”
