John Goldrick

Stub — John Brian Goldrick was the City Coroner who presided over the inquest into the death of Mark Stewart on 16 July 1976. He returned an open finding: that Mr Stewart died of multiple injuries from a fall from the Fairy Bower headland, but that the evidence did not enable him to determine whether the fall was accidental or self-inflicted. He also found no circumstances giving rise to suspicion of foul play — a secondary finding that the Sackar Inquiry declined to adopt.

Research needed:

• Full career details, tenure as City Coroner
• Whether Goldrick presided over inquests into other cases within this project’s scope
