Sinead McNamara death veiled in questions coroner says after body found on Mayan Queen IV in Greece
A coroner was never provided with crucial footage that was
reportedly taken moments before a young Australian Instagram model was found
hanging from the back of a billionaire’s superyacht in Greece.
Sinead McNamara, 20, was ruled to have committed suicide
after her body was found on the Mayan Queen IV, in the Greek Islands, in August
2018.
The ruling came despite coroner Ilias Bogiokas admitting
questions still remained about the case.
The Daily Telegraph reported Ms McNamara had complained of a
fight with someone on the yacht the day before her death, authorities had not
inspected the vessel before it left port and the coroner never received footage
showing Ms McNamara moments before her death.

Ms McNamara, from Port Macquarie on the New South Wales Mid
North Coast, sold all her belongings and flew to Europe to work on-board the
Mayan Queen IV in May.

‘We don’t know if someone brought her into this situation,
if there was a moral instigator,’ Mr Bogiokas said.
Ms McNamara, from Port Macquarie on the New South Wales Mid
North Coast, sold all her belongings and flew to Europe to work on-board the
Mayan Queen IV in May.
She had previously worked on similar superyachts and stayed
on the $190 million luxury boat – owned by Mexican billionaire Alberto
Bailleres – as it travelled around Europe.
Ms McNamara called her mother the day before she was found
dead to complain she had been in an argument with someone on board.
A passing boat spotted the Australian model hanging from the
back of the yacht and she was rushed to an Athens hospital, though she died
while en route in the helicopter.
The Mayan Queen IV was allowed then allowed to leave
Kefalonia after Greek coast guards interviewed staff.
The Mayan Queen IV is equipped with CCTV surveillance
cameras, and footage of the incident was seized by Greek authorities.
Footage reportedly showed Ms McNamara moments before her
body was found – though the video was not made public.
Without the footage and an inspection of the yacht, the
coroner ruled Ms McNamara had died by hanging.

‘Since no stimulant drugs such as cocaine or sedatives such
as cannabis or heroin have been found after the toxicological analysis, it
means that the girl was not under the influence of such substances,’ he said.
‘She had mental clarity and that she was most likely facing
social problems and was (found herself) in a psychological impasse.’
The Mayan Queen IV is owned by billionaire mining magnate
Alberto Bailleres, Mexico’s second richest man.
The notoriously-private tycoon left the vessel three days
before Ms McNamara’s death.
When news of the tragedy broke Mr Bailleres was in his
family mansion in Mexico City, and declined to comment on the death aboard his
boat.
Mr Bailleres appeared in public at the National Palace as a
guest of Enrique Peña Nieto two days later, but again declined to comment, La
Journada reported.
