What was Paul Harriss’ cause of death? Harriss passed away on Oct. 2, 2022 after a two-year battle with prostate cancer.
His regular test in April 2019 recorded a “blip”, he said, and his doctor advised getting another test three months later.

“But when it came time, it was July in the middle of winter and I just never got around to dropping into pathology in Kingston. I had no symptoms and no pain”.

Mr Harriss eventually went to be tested next in December 2020, more than twenty months on from the initial screening.
“The scans showed that the prostate cancer had metastasized into my bones – pelvis, ribs and spine – but not into any organs.”
Premier Jeremy Rockliff said Mr Harriss was a mentor and was kind and compassionate.
“When I was elected in 2002, Paul had been a member of parliament for some years,” Mr Rockliff told reporters on Monday.
