Emergency services transported the prisoner to the Princess Alexandra Hospital from the Wolston Correctional Centre after officers discovered him unconscious at unlock on Saturday.
The Thorburns fostered no more children after Palmer's disappearance, but continued to run a daycare service from their home until April 2016 when the state's education and child safety departments were advised by police that Rick Thorburn was facing nine serious charges unrelated to Palmer, and the family's daycare approval was revoked and their foster care approval was suspended.In September 2016 a car formerly owned by Rick Thorburn was seized by police for forensic examination and, on 20 September 2016, Palmer's foster parents and their two sons were taken into police custody for questioning. The man convicted of killing 12-year-old Tiahleigh Palmer has been found unresponsive in his prison cell.
Rick Thorburn took that away from me, from our family and most importantly, from Tiahleigh,” she added.Prominent child safety advocate Hetty Johnston said the prospect of Thorburn ever leaving jail was incomprehensible and upsetting.Ms Johnston, the founder of Bravehearts, has criticised the 20-year non-parole period as too lenient when it came to the murder of children, calling on the state government to legislate a minimum life sentence.“I’m really quite upset that parole could ever be a possibility for this man,” she told the ABC.“There is no way a man who could knowingly, cold-blooded, calculatingly kill a little girl and leave a body to rot on the river bank should ever, ever be able to re-enter society.“It’s incomprehensible. I hope it comes on May 25th.
