Overview
- Pawel Martyniak, 21, left his Gorleston home on November 30, 2021 after assaults on his mother and sister and was treated as a high‑risk missing person.
- DNA testing confirmed two feet found in March 2023—one on the coast of Sweden and one at Winterton, Norfolk—belonged to him.
- Area coroner Yvonne Blake recorded a short narrative and ruled the medical cause of death unascertained because the remains were incomplete.
- Police previously said the death was not believed to be suspicious, though the inquest could not determine how he died.
- Health professionals described struggles with sexuality, identity and possible gender dysphoria, while his family argued psychosis was misread and called his death a preventable tragedy after extensive but fruitless searches, including more than 1,000 posters.
