Dragun's co-anchor, veteran broadcaster Tim Webster, described her as "one of the most professional I've ever seen, very meticulous...if she made a mistake she was distraught about it.

[3] She restarted pharmacotherapy on what was then a new class of antidepressants, serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs),[4] prescribed by her general practitioner (GP), which she took until 2007.

[3][11] According to news reports, Dragun sat near the gully for around two hours, something she had done several times in the weeks leading up to her suicide,[5] and sent a farewell text message to Struthers before jumping to her death.

[3][5][11] Witnesses who had seen someone sitting near the popular suicide spot had contacted the police, but Dragun was dead by the time officers arrived.

[8] During 2010, an official inquest into the medical support surrounding Dragun at the time of her death was held by the Coroner's Court in Glebe, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney.

He also estimated that Dragun had "almost certainly" been misdiagnosed with depression and had actually had a bipolar II disorder, concluding that she had not received the correct treatment with a mood stabiliser that, in his view, probably would have saved her life.

While the "cross tapering" programme she had been placed on, where the dose of one drug is decreased while another drug is introduced, also had the side effects of increased anxiety, suicidal thoughts and confusion[13] and was argued to be inadequate,[14] the coroner emphasised that her medication had not "put [suicidal] ideas into her head or cause(d) her to behave in an irrational way and with no control over her actions".
