The former chief executive of the suicide prevention charity Console, Paul Kelly, has died. Console was shut down after a major controversy over how the charity was spending funds. The charity also took on the former Console staff. The Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) had opened an investigation into the Console controversy, but to date no charges had been brought against any individuals. The State corporate watchdog previously secured a High Court order in July 2018 to allow investigators examine material on computers taken from the suicide counselling charity.
