Lachlan Starick Suicide – Death: Trinity College Graduate Dies by Suicide Following Tragic Incident

Lachlan Starick Suicide Camberwell, Australia — The community is mourning the loss of Lachlan Starick, an 18‑year‑old Trinity College graduate who died by suicide following a violent incident earlier this week. Authorities found Starick deceased at a property believed to be his grandmother’s home after a search was launched in connection with a stabbing incident in the Melbourne suburb of Kew.

Police were called to a residential address in Kew in the early hours of the morning after reports of a stabbing involving a young woman. She was transported to hospital and is now in stable condition, according to law enforcement sources. Detectives from the Boroondara Crime Investigation Unit subsequently conducted a search for the suspect, later identified as Starick, who had been associated with Trinity Grammar School and recently graduated.

Several hours after the initial incident, officers received a Triple Zero call reporting an unresponsive person at a property in Antwerp, approximately 300 kilometres from the original scene. Responding officers located Starick deceased at the location. Police have stated that his death is being treated as a suicide, and a report will be prepared for the coroner. Authorities have also confirmed that no other suspects are being sought in connection with the stabbing.

The circumstances surrounding the events leading up to the incident remain under investigation. Senior law enforcement officials described the situation as “deeply tragic,” emphasizing the profound impact such events have on families, schools, and the wider community.

Lachlan Starick’s passing is a somber reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and support for young people. Community members and organisations have urged anyone experiencing distress to seek help through available crisis support services.

Memorial arrangements and further details from the family are expected to be shared when available. In the meantime, the community continues to extend condolences to all who were affected by this deeply saddening loss.
