There's still a lot
of mystery about what happened in the three minutes 17 Year old Yifan
Wang hit the water at the Aquatic Centre until he was discovered
unconscious in the deep end of the pool. That admission from Chief
Coroner Greg Forestell in spite of an inquest at which 21 witnesses
testified.
Forestell
does say, if nothing else, at least a lot of rumours and misconceptions
were disspelled. The inquest determined Wang was not sick when he
drowned or on drugs.
Forestell
regrets not being able to find out more about what sort of person Yifan
was but his parents remained in China and did not attend the inquest.
He
admits we still don't know what transpired in the 3 minutes from the
time Yifan hit the water until he was discovered unconscious in the
pool and likely never will.
The family has until mid September to decide whether or not to launch legal action against the Aquatic Centre.
