Overview
- Police conducting a welfare check at about 2:40pm on March 29 forced entry to a Wride Street unit in Maroubra and found the body of a woman in her 30s.
- Officers established a crime scene, and NSW Police said they do not suspect foul play, with a report to be prepared for the coroner.
- Media outlets identified the woman as Sydney socialite and former model Annabelle Price, 34, while police initially described her only by age.
- Reports recap her high-profile personal history, including two children with ex-husband Freddie Blencke—who was later cleared of assault allegations—and a 2023 engagement to investor Thomas Fennell that reportedly ended.
- In Australia, sudden or unexplained deaths are routinely referred to the coroner for inquiries such as toxicology and medical checks, which can clarify cause of death even when homicide is not suspected.
