Overview
- Queensland Police filed nine additional counts, including aiding the suicide of a 75-year-old man who died in Ashmore on January 9, 2024.
- New allegations cover further supplying and trafficking of pentobarbital, with police citing offers made at public meetings in Maroochydore and Nerang.
- Fraud counts allege Taylor posed as a solicitor, charged unauthorised fees for estate planning and end-of-life services, and misused donated charity funds, alongside a converting-monies charge.
- Police say a charity, Cetacean Compassion Australia, was used to obtain veterinary drugs, and federal regulators have revoked the organisation’s charity status.
- Authorities are reviewing up to 20 deaths since 2021; Taylor remains in custody with no bail application, and the fresh charges are listed for mention on December 2 in Southport Magistrates Court, with his father and a euthanasia advocate previously charged in the 2025 case.
