Piper James Autopsy Reveals Harrowing Dingo Attack and Drowning on K’gari

The cause of death for Piper James, a 19-year-old Canadian backpacker who was found lifeless on K’gari (aka Fraser Island) in Queensland, Australia, has been revealed.

James’ body was discovered on the beach on January, 19th, surrounded by a pack of 10 dingoes. This led to an investigation into what happened.

Now, the Coroners Court of Queensland ruled that she died, “as a result of drowning in the setting of multiple injuries, due to, or as a consequence of a dingo attack.”
