Nine-year-old drowning victim may have survived if wearing life jacket - coroner


In findings released on Friday, coroner Sue Johnson ruled Branje’s death an accidental drowning.

Emily’s mother, Janine Branje, had read the coroner’s report, and said she was happy to learn her daughter remembered all her water safety lessons.
“I was pleased to read she did absolutely everything she was taught to do, she flipped onto her back, she kicked off her gumboots.
“As her mum, I’m extremely proud of my daughter, that she remembered all that. A lot of adults wouldn’t have known what to do, but she did.”
