‘Confluence of errors’ led to Belgian tourist Celine Cremer’s death in Tasmanian wilderness, coroner finds

A Belgian tourist named Celine Cremer died in the Tasmanian wilderness due to a series of errors, according to a coroner's findings. She went on a hike near Philosopher Falls on June 17, 2023, and was reported missing nearly 10 days later. Her body was found in January 2026 after private searches organized by her friends and family. The coroner, Madeleine Wilson, concluded that Cremer's death resulted from an accident caused by multiple factors, including inadequate preparation for cold weather, poor navigation, loss of her mobile phone, and insufficient clothing. The coroner noted that she deviated from the trail late in the day, becoming disoriented without her phone. While the police response was deemed appropriate, the search was hindered by weather conditions. Tasmania Police has pledged to review the role of private search groups in missing persons cases.
