Brother-in-law to Retired NSWPF Member – Kelly French ( # ????? ) & Brother-in-law to Serving Member Insp. Mat French ( # ????? – Kempsey ).
Paul, unfortunately, was still suffering from work related PTSD – even after Retiring from the NSW Police Force.
It is believed that he suffered a heart attack at home where Ambulance personnel have performed CPR which continued at Coffs Harbour Hospital and, unfortunately Paul did not respond to the treatment and passed away at the Hospital.
It is hoped that he did not suffer.
May Thorny forever Rest In Peace.
