NOELENE Bischoff and her teenage daughter Yvana died after eating toxic fish while on holidays in Bali, preliminary autopsy results reveal.
But the Sunshine Coast pair may have survived the rare poisoning, called Scombroid Syndrome Toxicity, had they not both been asthma sufferers which accelerated and intensified their reaction.
A spokesman for the Queensland Coroner Terry Ryan told The Australian the Bischoff family met with forensic pathologists in Brisbane yesterday and had been told the possible causes of death. However, autopsy testing has not been finalised.
Bischoff, 54, and her 14-year-old daughter died violently and mysteriously in Bali last month, hours after enjoying a final meal at the Padang Bai Beach resort restaurant.
They had eaten grilled mahi mahi fish, vegetarian pizza and chicken curry, before succumbing to vomiting and breathlessness.
