The inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Tembe’s death is ongoing, with investigators examining how the findings relate to the events that led to her fatal fall.

Details of the inquest remain limited, but the toxicology results have been cited as a key element in understanding the victim’s physical capabilities at the time of the incident.
