Inquest/inquiry Into Death / Concluded Verdict Delivered and Inquiry Closed

Legal Issues

  1. 1 When, where and how did the deceased die?
  2. 2 Whether any person was criminally concerned in the deceased’s death
  3. 3 Whether an open verdict is required or a specific verdict (misadventure) is justified

Ratio Decidendi

Based on proved facts and credible evidence (forensic autopsy attributing death to upper GI bleeding from duodenal ulcer with perforation, pathologists' time‑of‑death estimate, extensive search and investigative records, lack of forensic or other evidence demonstrating third‑party criminal involvement), the Coroner found on the balance of probabilities that the deceased left the Sora House and became lost and died by misadventure; there was insufficient proved evidence to support homicide or suicide and an open verdict was unnecessary.

Court Disposition

Verdict: misadventure (death by accidental means); no person criminally concerned; inquiry closed

Orders

  • Inquiry closed
  • Verdict recorded: death by misadventure; no person criminally concerned in the cause of death
