QUEENSLAND’S Coroner’s Office says it will liaise with Gold Coast balcony death victim Warriena Wright’s New Zealand-based family before deciding whether to hold an inquest into her death.
It was revealed last week that the Coroner had reopened investigations into the death of Ms Wright, who plunged from her Tinder date Gable Tostee’s 14th-floor Surfers Paradise high-rise balcony in August 2014. Mr Tostee was acquitted of her murder and manslaughter after a two-week Supreme Court trial in October this year.
Police immediately referred the case back to the Coroner, who can make recommendations such as criminal charges and suggested measures to Âimprove public safety.
Mr Tostee took to social media this week to dismiss the investigation as a non-event.
