Inquest into the disappearance and suspected death of Nadire Sensoy

72y · Female·Not determined - available evidence does not allow findings as to cause of death

Mrs Nadire Sensoy, aged 72, disappeared on or about 6 December 2018. She was an insulin-dependent diabetic with hypertension requiring daily medications. The coroner found she died on the stated date based on: abrupt cessation of all normal activities (bank withdrawals, medical appointments, social contact); failure to access Centrelink payments; a cancelled endocrinologist appointment; no passport usage; no evidence of travel to mentioned destinations (Moree, Turkey); and a forensic medical opinion that without insulin she would have become symptomatic within weeks and likely died without access to medical care. The coroner was satisfied she died in suspicious circumstances but suspended the inquest pending criminal proceedings. No clinical lessons are extractable as this was not a death occurring in medical care.
