The review identifies significant long-term, hidden familial domestic and sexual abuse, highlighting the profound barriers to disclosure faced by victims. It also notes missed opportunities by health services to investigate underlying causes of depression and question unusual communication, though the eventual discovery of the deceased's death was due to housing agency vigilance.
