WA Police officer dies at work in presumed suicide
A WA Police officer has died overnight in a Perth facility in what is thought to be suicide, with an investigation under way into how the tragedy unfolded.
WA Police confirmed the news on Monday, stating that the man’s death was non-suspicious and that a report would be prepared for the coroner.
This terminology is generally understood to relate to a self-harm incident.
Police Commissioner Col Blanch extended his condolences to the family of the officer, his colleagues and all who knew him.
“Information regarding this officer’s death has been shared with his colleagues, and health and welfare support has been offered to all police officers and staff who may be impacted by this tragedy,” a WA Police spokeswoman said.
WA Police Union president Paul Gale said the whole force and union membership were distraught.
“All of our members both here and across Australia will be affected by this,” he said.
A St John Ambulance spokeswoman said three ambulances attended a Stirling Street building just after 1am on Monday.
WA Police officers who have taken their own lives in the line of duty include officer Darren Igglesden, 50, who was found by colleagues at Cockburn police station in 2018 after suffering a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Gang Crime Squad detective sergeant Scott Blanchard, a married 45-year-old father of three, took his own life while travelling in a convoy en route to Kalgoorlie in 2015. In her findings, deputy State Coroner Evelyn Vicker concluded Blanchard had become overcome by his perceptions of his work and private responsibilities, and delusional about a medical condition.

Perth police officer dies on duty
Police officer who took his own life at work stopped at airport days before death
A police officer who took his own life at work was stopped at an international airport days before he took his own life, police have said.
A police officer who took his own life at work was stopped at an international airport days before his death.
WA Police commissioner Col Blanch told 6PR the officer was a 45-year old Homicide Squad detective who had returned from a family event overseas.
The officer took his own life at a Perth police facility on Monday morning.
Mr Blanch said it was not clear if the incidents were connected in any way, but it was a focus of the police investigation.
“It is not unusual for Homicide Squad detectives (to access the armoury out of hours) because as you would appreciate they are called in at all hours of the day or night,” he said.
“All of those detectives have access to the building including the armoury for exactly that reason.”
Mr Blanch said sadly, when he talked to families of police officers who had died through suicide, work was always a contributing factor.
“It is a tough job,” he said.
“There are often multiple factors … and many many issues within people’s lives that leads them down this path.
“We understand and acknowledge it is a very difficult job for police.”
Mr Blanch said he had focused on building the health and welfare section of the force, with more support available to officer’s than ever before.
He said right now the priority was the welfare of the officer’s family, his colleagues and the staff who were in the building at the time.
“We have a lot of support from our health and welfare area being deployed throughout the agency to give that support to the officers and to the family,” he said.
“Police Legacy are also involved to provide support to the family when officers pass away.”
In a statement released by police, a spokesperson said the death was not being considered suspicious.
“Information regarding this officer’s death has been shared with his colleagues, and health and welfare support has been offered to all police officers and staff who may be impacted by this tragedy,” the statement said.
