UPDATE: Jason Arday’s family — another important part of the picture (wife and kids left behind)

New reporting from Hindustan Times provides further detail about Jason Arday’s wife, Debbie-Ann McKenzie, and their two children, Taylah and Noah.

It reports that Jason met Debbie-Ann when he was 18, that they married in 2014, and that she played an important role in helping him learn to read through phonics. (Hindustan Times)

This reminds us that the consequences of what happened did not end with Jason.

A partner and two children lost a husband and father.

If these family and dependency circumstances are independently verified, they could also become relevant to any future legal assessment of dependency, consequential loss or other damages.

However, they do not themselves establish liability, causation or the cause of Jason’s death, which has not yet been publicly determined. (Hindustan Times)
