Rockhampton double death case of Deanna and Andrea Coughlin in Bank Street, Park Avenue

Police have provided an update in the investigation into the sudden deaths of a Rockhampton mother and daughter earlier this month.

Authorities can’t confirm a time frame for when autopsy results will be available in the investigation into the sudden deaths of two Rockhampton women earlier this month.

Andrea Coughlin, 44, and her mother Deanna, 81, were co-owners of the Bank Street, Park Avenue home where police made the grim discovery of their bodies after being called to the house to carry out a welfare check about 5.30pm on Saturday, September 10.

When asked on Tuesday, September 27, how long it may take for the autopsy results and further questions around that process, a Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said there was “no further information” available.

Andrea Coughlin and her mother were found dead inside their Bank Street, Park Avenue, Rockhampton home on Saturday, September 10, 2022.

When asked if police were still treating the case as a sudden death investigation with no suspicious circumstances as had previously been stated, the QPS spokeswoman said: “Preliminary information indicates the deaths are not considered suspicious.”

Police had previously said they had not commenced a homicide investigation.

A memorial notice published in this publication in 2019 listed Andrea and Deanna as the loving daughter and wife respectively of John Patrick Coughlin, who died aged 73 on July 30, 2013.
