What we don't know

Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.

  • The exact circumstances surrounding her death are subject to a report for the coroner.
  • What were the exact circumstances surrounding Lily Hooper's death?
  • Whether NSW Police directly confirmed the reported radio code-word mix-up, rather than only apologising for a broader miscommunication.
  • The exact circumstances and cause of death remain pending the coroner process, as already noted.
