The New Zealand Health and Disability Services Standards define seclusion as it relates to the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 “where a consumer is placed alone in a room or area, at any time and for any duration, from which they cannot freely exit”.

In January 2007, a routine shoulder x-ray incidentally disclosed a shadow in the lung, that turned out to be metastasized kidney cancer (stage IV, grade 4 renal cell carcinoma).
