The court heard that a toxicology report found that Ms Holland was at around twice the legal driving limit. Mr Rebello said this was the level one would associate with social drinking.

The cause of death was hanging. Mr Rebello said that Ms Holland had suffered from poor mental health over recent years. He recorded a verdict of suicide while suffering from poor mental health.

Ms Holland's family attended the hearing. Mr Rebello told them that she would not have suffered and to remember her life and not her death.
