Tostee inquest not off table

- GREG STOLZ

ALMOST two years after he was acquitted over the horrific high-rise death of his Tinder date Warriena Wright, Gold Coast playboy Eric Thomas – formerly known as Gable Tostee – could face more questions over the tragedy.

A coronial investigat­ion into Ms Wright’s death is con- tinuing, with a possible inquest still being considered.

But Tostee says he was cleared by the Supreme Court and believes he has nothing to fear from any inquest.

“As far as I’m concerned there’s nothing much more to be discussed,” he said yesterday. “I’m getting on with my life.”

Ms Wright plunged to her death from the balcony of Tostee’s rented 14th floor apartment in the Avalon tower in Surfers Paradise on August 8, 2014, just hours after hooking up with him on the popular dating app.

“The Coroner is continuing his investigat­ion before determinin­g whether an inquest is required,” a Coroners Court spokeswoma­n said.
