💨 Abstract

The coroner found failings in the care of former England cricketer Graham Thorpe before his suicide. Thorpe, 55, died in August 2024 after not being seen by healthcare professionals for months, despite expressing suicidal thoughts. His frayed mental health following a job loss and the fallout of a leaked video were noted. The coroner identified 'shortcomings', recommending better crisis intervention but did not cite gross failings or neglect.
