HealthQueensland coroner finds six-year-old boy died from scurvy

A Queensland coroner found that Brisbane six-year-old Connor Dean’s fatal brain damage was most likely linked to severe vitamin C deficiency and scurvy. He had longstanding dietary concerns, ate no fruit or vegetables, and took a multivitamin without vitamin C. The coroner found insufficient evidence that the product caused or contributed to his death, focusing instead on the failure to detect the deficiency in time.
