Rider Killed Coffs

Im sad to report that a young rider was killed on an r1 in a group of about
15 bikes between coffs harbour and Grafton.

 

I know all, but I cant tell you everything.

He apparently ran into a roo, didn't fall off, kept going for 15k's, locked
it up on a strait bit of road, fell off and died shortly after. Coroner will
tell us exactly what he died from during autopsy.

A few other bikes locked it up and went down avoiding him.

Presumably, something from hitting the roo has caused him to wack the ankers
on a bit too hard.

I dono if any riders from coffs knew who it was.

Or else something came adrift and locked the wheel. Either on its own,
or when he did something on that straight stretch.

People don't often die from an autopsy, HTH.

Well, that because they're _usually_ already dead. I'll bet there'd be a
pretty close to 100% death rate from live people undergoing autopsy...

Do you mean postmortem?

Hammo

 

While not being completely au fait with the correct medical teminology,
I _think_ what I mean is that premortem autopsy is not such a good
idea...

No, it's the surgery that kills them. Article in Sunday's paper says 18,000
Australians die from medical "mishaps" in a year. That's about 8 times the
road toll. I think medical staff should wear helmets and seat belts.

Life is somewhere between postpartum and postmortem.

The staff? Surely the patients!

Hammo (should we take away their medicare cards too?)

 

Makes you wonder why people queue to get into hospitals, don't it?

Theo

 

No, not really.

Hammo

 

Drugs too, mis-prescription and mis-dispension. When are we going to see a
war on legal drugs?

Ok the coroner does a post mortem,
All diseased are checked by a doctor first, and are issued a death
certificate
combined with my p79a, identification statement and a report to the coroner

 

Maybe they caused his accident... it's easy to blame the dead guy.

That'd be a good presumption if he hit the roo 15 metres prior to locking it
up... but 15km... I hope part of your job isn't determining the cause of
accidents.

Im thinking more of, bike was overheating, oil or temp light came on and he
pannicked

Not my investigation nev, you crewel barstad

 

are you really thinking???

He's already had an altercation with a roo. He's back on his bike and he's
still riding with his mates. If a few of them crashed because he crashed that
means they're all riding beyond their ability to stop safely, so its probably
a fair assumption to make that they're "racing" at close quarters.

You are suggesting that someone who has already survived an altercation with a
roo and been level-headed enough to have ridden another 15km from the accident
scene - probably at considerable speed - being so panicked by a small red
light on the dash that they give their brakes such a vicious application that
they crash on a straight stretch of road without any associated life
threatening circumstances.

I hope part of your job isn't determining the cause of accidents.

I had I no idea the coroner was so busy.

Umm, no. Doctors certify the death. Many many other professions can
document the death and have often seen/documented this many hours before a
doctor.

 

That street cred is denigration by another name?
