Inquest reveals death at immigration detention centre occurred after missed medication

An ongoing inquest into the death of an Afghan man at the Yongah Hill immigration detention centre has revealed he missed dispensing rounds for his epilepsy medication before his death.

Twenty-six-year-old Mohammad Najafi died following a seizure he had at the facility in 2015 due to missing some of these rounds as a result of his irregular sleeping hours.

Mr Najafi made a formal complaint regarding this dispensing practice as he believed it was inflexible, and records show he had been frustrated by the dispensing schedule six days before his death.
