Coroner Jan Bentley will publish her findings on Friday at 1.30 pm at Court 4, Level 1 in Cairns Magistrates Court.
The Northern Coroner’s Office say there will be a live video link to the Mount Isa Magistrates Court, Court 1 on the ground floor.
Testimony wrapped up in the inquest on Thursday, April 7 after a visit to Undilla Station and three days of hearings at Mount Isa Magistrates Court into the death of the 17-year-old from Mount Isa.
Kyle Coleman has been missing presumed dead since not returning from a hunting trip on February 22, 2014.
Barrister for Kyle Coleman’s parents Dennis Lynch called for an unlawful killing finding saying that Kyle Coleman never returned from Undilla Station and was killed there by James Coleman (no relation) on their camping trip that weekend.
The counsel assisting the coroner Stephanie Williams also concluded that Kyle Coleman died at Undilla Station on either February 21 or 22 and James Coleman lied about his return to Mount Isa.
Ms Williams concluded the death was likely the result of a gunshot accident.
James Coleman, 21, committed suicide a few days later.
