NSW Premier mistakenly said missing hiker was alive; police later confirmed her death

NSW Premier Chris Minns wrongly told parliament that missing hiker Lily Hooper, 18, had been found alive, then corrected himself after bad advice from search teams. Police later confirmed her body was found in Nattai National Park after an eight-day search. ABC News had also reported her rescue. A coroner's report — an official review of how someone died — will follow.
