The family of a Canadian backpacker who was found dead on a heritage-listed tourist destination in Queensland, Australia, has been given the preliminary findings from her autopsy.
The body of Piper James, 19, was found on Seventy Five Mile Beach on K’gari (Fraser Island) just after 5 a.m. Monday.
Friends of James have revealed she had told them she was going for a swim around that time.
Two passersby discovered James’ body, surrounded by a pack of dingoes.
The preliminary findings from James’ autopsy have since been delivered to her father, Todd, and his wife, Angela, with the ABC reporting a preliminary assessment indicating the dingo bites found on her body were most likely sustained after her death.
“The autopsy has found physical evidence consistent with drowning and injuries consistent with dingo bites,” a spokesperson told the broadcaster.

“We simply can’t confirm whether this young lady drowned or died as a result of being attacked by dingoes,” Wide Bay District Inspector Paul Algie said Thursday.

“Maybe it was a reverse vampire. “

By George, I think he’s got it!

I am no expert on Australian wildlife, but I have not heard of dingoes drowning humans.
“I am no expert on Australian wildlife, but I have not heard of dingoes drowning humans.”
They didn’t drown her. They bit her to death. Third fatal attack in that area.
A fraternity brother dove into a shallow pool, broke his neck and died on the spot. He was 19.
Bullshit headline, there were no "Bombshell" details released..........Sheesh!
The autopsy showed that she died by drowning, with the dingo bites being post-mortem. At most, the dingoes might have forced her into the water. Yet she would have the advantage over such land predators in just a couple of feet of water so as to be invulnerable to attack if they went into the water after her.
“The autopsy showed that she died by drowning, “
Nope.
“with the dingo bites being post-mortem.”
Some post-mortem. Others defensive.
“At most, the dingoes might have forced her into the water.”
Possible
