- A post-mortem found the cause of death was multiple injuries.
- Australian police told the inquest the van probably rolled or slid because of the incline or bad weather, with a possible failure to apply the handbrake.
- The inquest heard Cyclone Alfred affected the region from February 22 to March 8 with lingering impacts into March 11, though officials said no causal link was established.
- Friends found the van off the side of a driveway and discovered Thompson beneath it after she missed a work shift, and her family said questions remain about why she was in front of the vehicle and when she died.
