UK Officer's Corfu Holiday Tragedy: Family Seeks Answers
19 Nov
Summary
- Policewoman Hannah Byrne found dead with head injury on Corfu holiday.
- Family awaits answers on her final moments with two strangers.
- Inquest examines potential methanol poisoning and accidental fall.
A UK policewoman's family faces agonizing uncertainty following her tragic death in Corfu just last year. Hannah Byrne, 22, was discovered with a fatal head injury on the side of a road on her first day of holiday. CCTV footage showed her climbing a ladder to a roof with two individuals she had met earlier that night.
Concerns linger as these two individuals have yet to be formally interviewed by police, significantly delaying the inquest into her death. The family has been given conflicting initial explanations, from a simple trip to a fall from a building. Investigations are also considering the possibility of methanol contamination in her drinks.
As the inquest begins, the family continues to seek closure, yearning to understand Hannah's final moments. The Greek coroner believes an accidental fall from a height likely caused her death, but questions remain about whether she was abandoned afterwards. Toxicology reports are pending, which are expected to provide clarity on the substances she consumed.
