Overview
- Amanda Thorpe told TalkSPORT that early, stronger efforts to keep her husband connected to England cricket could have prevented his death.
- After Thorpe’s 2022 dismissal, the ECB arranged ten online counselling sessions and extended his medical insurance for three months.
- In March 2022 his counsellor recommended residential, in‑person care via his GP, a step that was not acted upon as confidentiality limited what the ECB was told.
- Thorpe survived a serious suicide attempt in May 2022, after which the ECB funded a four‑week neuro‑rehabilitation stay and later discussed a potential scouting role.
- A July 2025 inquest recorded suicide and cited shortcomings in healthcare, and the ECB has expressed condolences, noted it funded treatment, and said it remains in contact with the family.
