Fiji death inquiry welcomed

The family of honeymooner Rebecca Crawley has welcomed the opening of a New Zealand inquiry into her death in Fiji.

Christchurch-based Coroner Sue Johnson has opened the inquiry. An inquest will be held in Blenheim.

The 26-year-old Blenheim woman, who had been married just six days, was snorkelling with husband Hayden Stockwell off the island of Matamanoa on November 30 when a boat propeller hit her. She was flown to hospital but died.

Her father, Mark Crawley, said yesterday the family supported the New Zealand inquiry.

The coroner has appealed for information from anyone who was in the resort area at the time of the death.
