Attribute to
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Cottam:
Police can
now name the woman who died in Redcliffs on Monday 22
October.
She was Lauren Mikaila Biddle, a
22-year-old American citizen who was working in New Zealand.
A post mortem was completed today and preliminary
results have been forwarded to the Coroner.
As part
of the post mortem process, Police and the Coroner are
waiting on toxicology results.
Police are still
carrying out a scene examination at a Spinnaker Lane address
that it is believed Lauren had been at – we expect to
complete that process tomorrow.
Emergency services
were initially called by a friend who was performing CPR on
Lauren on Clifton Terrace.
We have been in contact
with Lauren’s US-based family and have been working with
the US Embassy to offer them the support they need.
No further information is available at this stage. We
will provide an update as soon as we are able.

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
