AI-generated summary
A 30-year-old male musician and plasterer died by drowning at Yanchep Lagoon while attempting to swim to a reef marker after consuming alcohol. Despite appearing initially healthy and a competent swimmer, he developed difficulties near the reef, likely related to a water current and alcohol intoxication combined. He became unconscious and drowned. An immediate and extensive search was undertaken by emergency services and lifeguards, but his body was never recovered. The coroner found no evidence of preventability, though alcohol consumption before swimming in unfamiliar waters with changing conditions was identified as contributing. No medical or clinical intervention failures were identified—the death was attributed to misadventure.
