Inquest hears drowning more likely than murder in case of vanishing naked man
An inquest has been told drowning and possible shark intervention are more likely than murder in the case of Steven Fenwick, who was last seen naked on Stockton Beach in 2019.
Steven Feno Fenwick vanished on January 31, 2019, following a night of winning money playing pokies. The mystery of his disappearance has four possible explanations: drowning, murder, drug overdose, or shark attack. An inquest into his case is underway at the Newcastle Coroner's Court. Fenwick had a history of ice addiction and was often prone to overheating.
On the night of his disappearance, he was last seen walking disoriented and naked on a beach with his girlfriend. His body has never been found, and shark experts have been consulted regarding the possibility of a shark attack. Police have ruled out foul play, but the case remains unresolved, leaving Fenwick's family devastated.
