Serious concerns have been raised regarding the "unrestricted availability of alcohol" on delivery apps following the death of a 28-year-old man who repeatedly ordered large quantities of alcohol.
Joseph William Cooper died on June 19 last year after sustaining "traumatic injuries" in a fall from his third-floor window, which occurred "after he had placed himself outside his third-floor window whilst profoundly intoxicated". A prevention of future deaths report also cited co-occurring depression and an alcohol dependence syndrome as contributing factors to his death.
