Unwilling' coroners failed us, say families of gambling addicts who took their own lives

Families of gambling addicts who succumb to suicide feel let down by the coroner service, claiming it fails to adequately investigate betting firms' roles in these tragedies.

Liz Ritchie, co-founder of Gambling with Lives, expressed the need for justice within families affected by gambling-related suicides, emphasizing that deaths are not properly linked to gambling's influence.

The new report reveals that most families feel excluded from the inquest process, with many citing an unwillingness to involve betting companies during these investigations.

Many families believe the gambling industry, including companies and the government, is evading accountability for its role in the suicides of gambling addicts.
