AI-generated summary
Amir Chouman, age 28, died by drowning in the Parramatta River on 10 January 2013 while attempting to evade police. He fled during a police search after exiting a taxi, jumping into the river and swimming away from pursuing officers. Water Police were contacted at 4:26am and arrived at 5:04am, locating his body approximately 44 minutes later. The coroner found police actions were appropriate and did not contribute to the death. Toxicology detected methylamphetamine, amphetamine, codeine and morphine. The coroner noted a procedural gap: the duty operations inspector did not notify the coroner until 6:30am, prompting a review of critical incident notification guidelines.
