Homelessness NSW backs calls for Inquest into death of Bikram Lama

Homelessness NSW

Homelessness NSW has backed urgent calls for a formal coronial inquest into the death of rough sleeper Bikram Lama. 

“An inquest is vital to examine the policy failures that led to Mr Lama’s tragic death and to ensure this never happens again,” said Homelessness NSW CEO Dom Rowe. 

“The death of every person experiencing homelessness is a tragedy and very often a systematic failure.

“We strongly support mandating the reporting of homelessness deaths to the coroner to help determine where, when and how deaths occur.

“Our thoughts are with Mr Lama’s family and friends.”
