AI-generated summary

An 11-year-old child died from unsurvivable head, neck and abdominal injuries sustained in a fall from approximately 16 metres at a conservation area during a family rock-climbing outing. The coroner found the death was due to misadventure with no suspicious circumstances. Rescue and resuscitation efforts were appropriate. Toxicology was negative for drugs and alcohol. No clinical lessons or preventive measures were identified, as this was an accidental trauma death outside a medical setting with appropriate emergency response.
