Corinda s 20-year-old son Ross died by suicide in 2013. It is sleepless nights, it is nightmares, it is waking up in the morning not wanting to get out of bed, it is traumatic, she told Newshub. I m exhausted, I m tired of waiting, no one deserves to wait this long.
And she s not alone. Waiting times for the Coroner s Court have significantly increased in the past year to 484 days on average. Currently, there are 5439 active cases.
When Corinda watched the Parliamentary select committee try to come to grips with the problem, she was even more frustrated and felt re-traumatised by the pain of her eight years of delay.
