A bone discovered in the sand on a Central Coast beach has been identified as that of a teenage boy who died in a drowning accident 44 years ago. A member of the public found the jawbone in the sand on Umina Beach, near Sydney Ave, on June 11, 2020. Initial DNA analysis failed to identify any direct, familial or genealogical matches. Now, advancements in DNA analysis have matched the bone to Henry Coleman, a 17-year-old boy who died in an accidental drowning on the Central Coast in August 1980.
“Without the amazing, combined work by our detectives, scientists and analysts, we never would have been able to return these remains to their resting place and find answers for Mr Coleman’s family,” Sim said. “This investigation has taken four years and we can’t be happier with the result with the most rewarding part being giving the news to Mr Coleman’s family.
