Family raise questions over cheerleader balcony death
The inquest will examine claims of domestic abuse, third-party intervention and evidence that her partner tried to access her finances after her death.
- Deputy State Coroner Donald MacKenzie ordered a two-week inquest into the 2013 death of Breeana Elaine Stewart Robinson, who fell from the 11th floor of the H2O building in Southport.
- Initially investigated as suicide, the case became a murder inquiry in 2019 when police charged her then-partner Jayden Daniel Moorea, but prosecutors dropped all charges in 2023 citing insufficient evidence.
- Counsel Kim Bryson told the court investigators found excessive "abusive and derogatory" text messages from Moorea to Robinson and evidence suggesting he attempted to access her bank account and superannuation after her death.
- The Coroners Court in Brisbane will hold a 10-day hearing starting October 19, with more than 40 witnesses including police, family, and a biomechanical expert expected to provide evidence.
- Robinson "appeared happy and future-oriented" on the day she died, her family maintains, while continuing to challenge Moorea's account and holding concerns about potential "third-party intervention" in her death.
