Overview

  • Queensland Police said the woman’s death was sudden and non-suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
  • The captain reported her missing around 9 p.m. Saturday, triggering an overnight search by AMSA and police that resumed at dawn and found her body Sunday.
  • The Coral Adventurer had left Lizard Island earlier Saturday after a shore visit, and reports indicate the woman joined a group hike to Cook’s Look and separated to rest.
  • AMSA opened an inquiry into boarding and excursion procedures and said the crew will be interviewed when the ship docks in Darwin, expected on November 2.
  • Operator Coral Expeditions said it initiated search efforts, is cooperating with authorities, and has contacted and is supporting the woman’s family.
