Elizabeth Struhs Inquest: Coroner Warns 'Lack of Curiosity' About Family's Religious Beliefs Was 'Missed Opportunity'

Here is what the page “Elizabeth Struhs Inquest: Coroner Warns 'Lack of Curiosity' About Family's Religious Belie” contains. A Queensland coroner is investigating the death of eight-year-old Elizabeth Struhs, who died from diabetic ketoacidosis on 7 January 2022 after her father stopped her insulin. The inquest has heard that a 'lack of curiosity' about the family's religious beliefs was a 'missed opportunity' to save her life. Coroner is now considering adopting recommendations from Victoria's cults inquiry as part of the investigation into Elizabeth's death.

The case underscores the critical need for authorities to recognise and respond to religious extremism that may endanger children's lives. The coroner's findings could lead to systemic changes in how child protection and health services engage with families whose beliefs reject medical treatment.
