Where it stands

A man in his 60s died near Zeehan before an ambulance arrived, about 78 minutes after his call for help; the local station had no crew because leave was not covered, and crews in Queenstown and Strahan were busy, so one was sent from Burnie. Tasmania’s Health Department has launched a comprehensive investigation, and its findings and any response remain open.
