Leonard Collett
Leonard Collett was a respected figure in Taranaki, known for his sociable nature and straightforward demeanor. He and his wife, Vicky, ran several successful taverns in the region for nearly three decades before retiring about 20 years ago. A father of four, Collett was noted for his reluctance to seek medical assistance, preferring to avoid being a burden. His passing in July 2020, following a fall at Taranaki Base Hospital's Emergency Department, has led to a coroner's inquest aimed at improving patient safety protocols.
