A coronial inquest into the deaths of 25 people in southeast Queensland’s January floods is to hear from a suicide researcher on Wednesday.
State Coroner Michael Barnes will determine when and how the flood victims died, and examine whether there has been an increase in suicide as a result of the floods.
Diego De Leo, the author of an Australian Institute of Suicide Research and Prevention report commissioned by the state coroner’s office, will be the only witness to give evidence to the inquiry on Wednesday.
The three-day inquest has so far heard of the difficult process authorities went through trying to find the 100 people still missing in the days after the floods.
The bodies of Sylvia Baillie, Robert Bromage, Llync-Chiann Clarke, Jean Gurr, Garry and Joselyn Jibson, Jessica Keep, Robert Kelly, Pauline Magner, Bruce Marshall, Sandra and Steven Matthews, Donna and Jordan Rice, Brenda and Joshua Ross, Katie and Selwyn Schefe, Reinskje Van der Werff, Bruce Warhurst, Jesse Wickman and Van Giang had all been recovered by January 23.
About 75 of the missing were accounted for.
The bodies of Christopher John Face, James Cole Perry and Dawn Margaret Radke have never been found, but they, too, are presumed dead.
The scope of the inquest has been reduced so as to not intrude on the terms of reference of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry.
The commission, which delivered its interim report in August and will release its final recommendations in February, is investigating the adequacy of early warning systems, emergency preparation and the response during and after the disaster.
About 70 per cent of the state flooded last summer, killing a total of 35 people.
