===Coronial inquiry into Sincere Standtrue's death===
Beginning in 20 May 2024, Coroner Alexandra Cunninghame held an inquiry into the death of 20-year old Sincere Standtrue, who sustained critical injuries on 23 October 2018 at a Gloriavale paintshop where he worked. He subsequently died at [[Christchurch Hospital]] on 2 November. The inquiry will consider whether Standtrue's death was a suicide or whether he died in different circumstances. The inquiry will be held in June and August 2024, and will hear from witnesses about Standtrue's state of mind at the time of his death, allegations of bullying and harmful sexual behaviour, how Standtrue coped with life in the community and other factors that caused his death.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Leask |first1=Anna |title=Death of Gloriavale's Sincere Standtrue: Coroner probes man's sudden death in 2018 |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/death-of-gloriavales-sincere-standtrue-coroner-probes-mans-sudden-death-in-2018/VAIIFFLB6NFWFJ26ZWP2C7KEI4/ |access-date=23 May 2024 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=20 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240520105305/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/death-of-gloriavales-sincere-standtrue-coroner-probes-mans-sudden-death-in-2018/VAIIFFLB6NFWFJ26ZWP2C7KEI4/ |archive-date=20 May 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> Over 50 witnesses are expected to testify.

On 19 March 2025, Coroner Cunnighame ruled that Standtrue's death was an accident caused by "blacking out" rather than suicide. Standtrue's sister Rose disputed the Coroner's finding and criticised both the inquiry and the Police investigation for allegedly leaving out information.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Leask |first1=Anna |title=Coroner: Gloriavale man Sincere Standtrue's sudden death result of 'blacking out game' |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/coroner-gloriavale-man-sincere-standtrues-sudden-death-result-of-blacking-out-game/ERT7SV5QFBEJTBVOHS56QYGJPA/ |access-date=19 March 2025 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=14 March 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250313193841/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/coroner-gloriavale-man-sincere-standtrues-sudden-death-result-of-blacking-out-game/ERT7SV5QFBEJTBVOHS56QYGJPA/ |archive-date=13 March 2025}}</ref>
