Finding into death of June Leslie Parker

45y · Female·Presumed drowning

June Parker, aged 45, disappeared on 4 October 1981 from Koonya Beach, Blairgowrie. Her vehicle was found at the beach, along with her shoes near the water. The inquest was held 32 years later in 2013 after she was reported missing. Evidence indicated she was experiencing significant emotional distress due to recent marital breakdown and separation from her husband. Her son described her as passionate despite a quiet demeanor. The coroner found she presumably drowned, likely with suicidal intent. No clinical lessons are applicable as this was not a healthcare-related death. The case highlights the mental health impacts of marital breakdown and relationship separation, though no medical intervention or clinical decision-making was documented.
