Rangers to euthanise dingoes thought to have attacked Piper James
The dingoes found surrounding the body of Canadian backpacker Piper James will be put down after they were deemed an unacceptable risk.
Rangers on K’gari will begin tracking down dingoes suspected to have attacked Canadian backpacker Piper James before she was found dead on the island last week.
Police released a preliminary coroner’s report on Friday evening, which indicated the 19-year-old had been attacked by the animals before she died, and pointed to her primary cause of death as drowning.
James was found at 6.30am on Monday last week near the water at 75 Mile Beach on K’gari. She was surrounded by dingoes that the report said had continued biting her after her death.
