A Canadian teen died swimming near a shipwreck on Australia’s Fraser Island; dingo involvement is suspected but unconfirmed.

A Canadian family is raising funds to bring home their 19-year-old daughter, Piper James, who died while working on K'gari (Fraser Island) in Queensland, Australia. She went for an early morning swim near the SS Maheno wreck, a tourist destination, and was later discovered surrounded by dingoes. Preliminary autopsy results indicate drowning, but physical evidence suggests a dingo interaction. Authorities are investigating, but no official cause of death has been determined. The family is preparing to travel to Australia to retrieve her remains and is seeking public assistance with repatriation costs. The incident has sparked safety concerns on the remote island, which is known for its wild dingo population.
