CP NewsAlert: Canadian found circled by dingoes on Australia beach drowned: autopsy

By Canadian Press on January 23, 2026.

An autopsy in Australia has determined that a young Canadian who was found dead on a beach earlier this week was not killed by a pack of 10 dingoes.

A spokesperson with the Coroners Court of Queensland says the autopsy of Piper James of Campbell River, B.C., showed physical evidence of drowning and injuries consistent with “post-mortem” dingo bites.

More coming.
