Loss of blood due to a gunshot wound to his abdomen
AI-generated summary
Tyrone Lee Slemnik, aged 29, was fatally shot in the abdomen on 8 July 2013 during a gang-related incident in Eastlakes, NSW.

The shooting occurred outside residential premises where he was standing guard for the Hells Angels OMCG, as part of an escalating territorial dispute with the Comanchero OMCG. Despite expert forensic investigation, the shooter remains unidentified. The coroner noted that gang associates refused to cooperate with investigators, preventing criminal accountability. While not a clinical case requiring medical intervention, this finding underscores the preventable nature of violence-related deaths in vulnerable populations engaged in organized crime.
