NSW:Death near The Gap not suicide - coroner

KATRINA PLOY'S body was found at a beach near a notorious Sydney suicide spot but a
coroner has found she did not fall from the towering cliffs to her death.

Ms PLOY's personal belongings were found near The Gap at Watson's Bay in 2006 .. and
her body was discovered on a nearby beach several days later.

Deputy state coroner PAUL MACMAHON rejected evidence tendered at the inquest that 25-year
old Ms PLOY hired a hitman to kill her because she couldn't do it herself.

The coroner returned an open finding .. saying Ms PLOY's death did not result from
her own actions .. and although there is some suspicion around the death .. the available
evidence is insufficient to prove it.
