The cause of the impostor’s death likely remains a mystery, the inquest says
The cause and manner of con artist Melissa Caddick’s alleged death may forever remain a mystery, according to a supplementary autopsy report filed on the final day of a coronal examination, the results of which will be presented in April.
Caddick, 49, disappeared at 5.30am on Thursday November 12, 2020.
The last photos of Melissa Caddick were taken by AFP during the raid.
The day before her disappearance, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, with the assistance of the Australian Federal Police, were executing search warrants at her home in connection with a fraudulent investment in which Caddick stole $23 million out of $23 million from family and friends.
Three months later, her running shoe, containing her partial remains, washed up on a remote beach on the south NSW coast.
The report of forensic pathologist Dr. However, Jennifer Pokorny, who was brought in to answer questions raised in the inquest, said: “It is not possible to determine the cause or manner of death.
“Unfortunately, with such limited remains available for examination, it is not possible to determine the full extent of the injuries Ms Caddick may have sustained, or whether there may have been a pattern to such injuries.”

Noting that there were fractures in the foot, which Pokorny said would not have been fatal, she said she could not conclude “whether it may have been from jumping on purpose, pushing on purpose, or falling accidentally” from a great height or through Fractures were caused by a direct impact on the foot. She also said that stress fractures in athletes could occur due to chronic impact.
Much of the three-week investigation, which has been conducted intermittently since it began last September, has focused on flaws in the initial police investigation and the erratic behavior of Caddick’s husband, hairdresser Anthony Koletti, who had not reported his wife missing in 30 hours .
