AI-generated summary
Annemarie Jeffery, a 73-year-old woman with a history of epilepsy and mild cognitive impairment, disappeared from a campground near Brooms Head NSW on 25 August 2020. She had left the group to visit the toilet block and did not return. Despite an immediate and thorough search involving police, SES, RFS, helicopters and volunteers, she was never found. The coroner determined she is deceased, likely dying on or shortly after her disappearance, but the cause and manner of death remain unknown. Her medical history included cognitive decline and episodes of disorientation, particularly in unfamiliar settings. While not a medical negligence case, her vulnerability due to cognitive impairment in an unfamiliar environment highlights risks for similar patients during leisure activities.
