AI-generated summary
Edward Ronald Vuissoz, a boarding house resident at Kings Cross, Sydney, was reported missing on 30 July 2012 after not being seen for several days. His body was discovered on 8 August 2012 in thick scrub at Balls Head Reserve, Waverton, in an advanced state of decomposition. Autopsy examination revealed incised wounds to the neck, elbow, and wrist consistent with self-infliction. Pathologist Dr D. concluded that death resulted from the combined effects of hypothermia and the incised wounds, possibly self-inflicted while the deceased was confused or delusional from hypothermia. No weapon was found at the scene. The coroner determined the manner of death to be undetermined and closed the inquest.
