Sophia Crestani's death likely preventable - coroner

A Coroner has criticised the hosts of a overcrowded Dunedin party where Sophia Crestani died, saying her death was likely preventable. The University of Otago student died at a party hosted in a student flat known as The Manor in October 2019. Coroner Heather McKenzie held a week-long inquest into her death in Dunedin in May and returned to the city to deliver her findings yesterday. They can be made public today. Tess Brunton has been covering the inquest and filed this report.
