Warning: The top story in this post describes the injuries of a deceased infant.

1. Baby boy dies with severe bruising and blood in his nappy.

A baby boy who died with horrific injuries may have been shaken to death and the victim of other crimes, a coroner has found.

Michael Smedley was just five months old when he died of a ‘traumatic head injury’ in Alice Springs in 2012 while in the care of his 16-year-old mother’s friends, the Daily Mail reports.

A coroner has found he died with severe bruising, anal injuries and blood in his nappy as well as injuries consistent with shaken baby syndrome.

Northern Territory Coroner Greg Cavanagh referred the case back to police, who have confirmed an investigation has recommended, but charges have not been laid.

Tamara Cole and her son had been living with her boyfriend, Oliver Deighton, who was alone with the infant in the hours before he became unconscious in July, 2012.

When Ms Cole came to collect her son to take him to daycare the five-month-old was limp and not breathing.

Ms Cole and paramedics performed CPR but Michael was pronounced dead that afternoon.

Doctors were suspicious about the ‘sinister’ bruising on Michael’s body and one paediatrician said he had been ‘shaken vigorously’. He also had damage to his anus and semen detected there, along with blood on his nappy.

Medical experts have dismissed Mr Deighton’s claim that Michael had wriggled off a change table as being unable to have caused his 26 bruises.

The coroner referred the matter to the NT Commissioner of Police and Director of Public Prosecutions believing a crime had been committed.

3. Family mourns tourist who died in Perth cliff jump.

The family of a Taiwanese tourist who died while cliff jumping are on their way to Perth to bring the 31-year-old’s body home.

Eddie Chiang plunged to his death at the popular Blackwell Reach, near Bicton, on Sunday afternoon, Seven News reports.

A witness pulled Mr Chiang’s lifeless body from the river and he was raced to shore on a kayak.

Paramedics were then unable to revive him.

Mr Chiang had been travelling around Australia on a working visa since 2015.

He is the second person to die at Blackwell Reach in the past decade, but the council says it still wants swimmers to have access to the popular spot.

Mr Chiang’s cause of death will be determined by an autopsy.

4. Melbourne jogger “ripped to pieces” by kangaroo.

A Melbourne jogger was hospitalised after a kangaroo attacked her near a walking track by her home on Saturday morning.

Templestowe woman Debbie Urquhart was attacked by a 2m-high male roo about 6am while jogging towards the Candlebark running track near Watties Road, the Manningham Leader reports.

The 54-year-old said the kangaroo repeatedly kicked her on the right side of her body, ripped her clothes and “threw me around like a rag doll.”

“He ripped me to pieces,” Mrs Urquhart said.

“He just kept on kicking into me and I was trying to crawl away.

“He left me for a bit and I thought he was going to come back and kill me.”

After playing dead to stop the attack, the kangaroo left and the personal trainer ran back to her home, where her husband rushed her to hospital.

There she received stitches in her arm, shoulder and buttocks, narrowly avoiding plastic surgery and recover in hospital until Sunday evening.

5. Passengers stuck on another Movie World ride.

Passengers were left stuck on a Movie World ride after a glitch halted the Wild West Falls Adventure Ride.

Patrons were freed after 20 minutes and the ride’s mechanics were checked before it was restarted, the park’s owners said in a statement.

A spokesman for Movie World confirmed the ride stopped at 3pm daylight saving time as part of “regular operating procedures”.

There was no risk to guests, the spokesperson said, as the rides are “operating as they are designed to.”

It’s the second time in less than a week that a ride at the park was stopped, after 20 passengers were left stranded on Arkham Asylum rollercoaster for about 90 minutes last Wednesday and had to be rescued.

6. Missing Australian mother and sons found at Japanese ski resort.

An Australian mother and her three adult sons reported missing at a ski resort in Japan have been found.

ABC journalist Rachel Mealey tweeted this morning the family “failed to return” to Nozawa Onsen ski resort and a search would resume today.

The search was a success, according to a post on the resort’s Facebook page, with the woman, reportedly aged in her 50s, and her three sons, aged in their 20s, found atop a mountain.

“The missing family has just been found up the top of the mountain! Have just gotten off the phone with the head of Nozawa Ski Patrol and all members are fine,” the post read.

“Everyone is very relieved to hear. A big thank you to the hard-working team at Ski Patrol and a strong message to everyone on the slopes at the moment to be very careful with more heavy snow again overnight.”

Police earlier said they believed the family were missing somewhere near the summit of the mountain at an altitude of 1,600 metres, ABC reports.

The Herald Sun reported earlier that Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman said officials were “looking into the matter”.
