Family of young Indigenous woman who took her own life in Melbourne hospital call for investigation
Briefly

From what they told us, she was put into a room where they gave her medication to help her sleep, closed the door and left her, and she hung herself. They left her alone, with no intervals of 10 minutes to check on her, with no one checking on her to see if she's OK, Sharon Watts-Owens said.
She should have been watched, there should have been systems put into place given that suicide rates are so high among our people, [she] should have been monitored, she shouldn't have been left alone and she should have felt culturally safe, Watts-Owens said.
