The NSW State Coroner has ordered a new inquest into the 1988 death of Scott Johnson, a gay American graduate student who was studying at the Australian National University in Canberra. His body was found at the bottom of cliffs near Manly on Sydney's northern beaches shortly after he had successfully completed his PhD thesis in maths. The first inquest in 1989 found his death to have been suicide, and a second inquest in 2012 returned an open finding. His was one of a number of suspicious deaths of gay men in Sydney in the 80s and 90s, a time when there were widespread reports of gay bashings, but police at the time were dismissive of that as a likely cause of Scott's, and others' deaths.
