Bradley Tucek was in pain when he visited the dentist for tooth infection in North Sydney. The man told his family about the pain and discomfort on July 13.
After visiting the dentist, he was sent home with a panadol, and only two days later, he was found dead in his apartment.

The 33-year-old tech analyst and artist visited the dentist the next day and was told he had an infection.
A dentist gave him antibiotics as well as painkillers, which his family has branded “inadequate”.
Bradley never had the operation for which he was booked for the following week, he passed away two days later after his dentist visit.

According to Nine News reports, police believed Bradley died on Saturday, July 16.
His body was only found when his concerned colleagues visited his place on Monday to check up on him.
Bradley’s family said he suffered a “great deal of pain and suffering” before he died alone on his kitchen floor.
Post mortem report is yet to come which will tell how Bradley passed away.

Bradley’s death was revealed on a GoFundMe page by his sister Ally Valentine.
Ally, who set up the page to help pay for his body to be transported home to his parents in Perth, said the family’s lives had been “ripped into a billion pieces”.
“We are hurting so much and have a logistical nightmare ahead of us over the coming weeks,” she said.
She described the circumstances of her brother’s death “heart-wrenching”.
Bradley had spent much of the Covid pandemic alone due to border closures, she said, and had worked from home for some time.

Ally also questioned how her brother could have died from “a simple toothache”.
“We are utterly devastated by this and don't want Brad to be alone any longer,” she said.
“His body is currently with the NSW coroner so a post-mortem can be conducted.
“We want answers as to how a simple toothache can lead to a devastating loss of life, and this process may take weeks.”
Ally said NSW Police had ruled out suicide or foul play.
Bradley’s family, who had flown to Sydney from their home in Perth, was waiting to see what the NSW Coroner’s Court findings were.
Ally stated that in the final conversation with her brother, he told her that he was too sick to talk to her.
She said there was “nobody else” like her brother, who she described as having a larger-than-life personality and being willing to fight for what he wanted.
