Couple who died in CBD tragedy identified
A Sydney couple who died in a suspected double suicide in the CBD on Saturday morning have been identified. Angela Nesbitt and Steven Dash were found by emergency services on Harbour St in Sydney under the Western Distributor overpass about 9.45am. The married couple believed to be in their 40s had both died before emergency services arrived. The Daily Telegraph reported their deaths are now being investigated by police after they were alerted to the couple's erratic behaviour about an hour earlier. The pair had been at Sydney's Star Casino when they were asked to leave by security about 8.55am, the newspaper reported. A comment was allegedly made about self harming to security, so they contacted police who were trying to locate the pair when the tragedy unfolded.

Mystery surrounds the heartbreaking double suicide of a married couple in the centre of Sydney with new details emerging about where they were just one hour earlier
A married couple's final moments before their public double suicide has emerged, with the pair visiting a Sydney casino in the leadup to their death. Angela Nesbitt and Steven Dash left The Star, in Pyrmont, about 8.55am on Saturday before falling from a walk bridge on the Western Distributor, near Sydney Harbour Bridge, onto Harbour Street, about 9.45am. Security guards asked Ms Nesbitt and Mr Dash, who lived in Sydney's south, to leave the casino following concerns over their 'erratic' behaviour. A comment was reportedly made to security about self-harming, which led to concerns being raised about the couple's welfare and police were notified. Officers searched for the married couple around Pyrmont and Darling Harbour, but less than an hour after they left The Star, they sadly received a report two people had fallen from a bridge. The couple, who are both aged in their 40s, died before emergency services could arrive. Police have confirmed the couple's visit to the casino, and whether they had been gambling, is under investigation. Ms Nesbitt and Mr Dash's history of mental health issues is also set to be looked into. Last year, police responded to an incident involving the couple, in which they reportedly threatened dual self-harm at the Queen Victoria Building. 'They are known to have a history of mental health issues,' a police source told the Daily Telegraph. 'They were at The Star for some time … the male was acting erratic so they asked him to leave. 'We believe a comment was then made to security at The Star about committing self harm, and security did the right thing and called police. 'Officers were looking for the couple when they got the call (about their deaths).' In a statement released on Saturday, NSW Police confirmed officers had 'established there were no suspicious circumstances' surrounding the couple's death. Investigators conducted extensive inquiries, including sourcing mobile phone and CCTV footage. Ms Nesbitt and Mr Dash married in 2022 and had recently travelled overseas together. The couple's double suicide led to significant traffic disruptions after police tapped off a crime scene and shut down major roads. Two southbound lanes from the Sydney Harbour Bridge were closed for several hours. Motorists were diverted onto the Anzac Bridge while officers concluded investigations. Lifeline 13 11 14
