A coronial inquest into the drowning of nine-year-old Cyrus John Buck at the Waikerie Swimming Pool in 2022 was adjourned after new evidence emerged, including recordings of two separate Triple Zero calls, ABC Riverland reported on 12 November 2026. The boy died on 3 December 2022 after two lifeguards saw him face-down, sinking about 50 centimetres below the water at the deep end.

The adjournment came on what was to be the inquest's third and final day, with family members visibly upset in court. Lifeguard Hayley Collins had been due to give evidence but will have another month to review the recordings. Counsel for Belgravia Health and Leisure, which manages the pool, argued fairness required time to respond to material provided that day, and Deputy State Coroner Darren Evans granted the request.

The previous day, lifeguard Emily Brock said a bag valve mask was described as broken and a defibrillator did not progress through its sequence. The court heard she was trained not to give rescue breaths because of COVID-19 concerns, and that Cyrus's aunt gave them instead. Neither Noah Hensel nor Ms Collins has yet given evidence. The inquest was to move from Berri Magistrates Court to Adelaide on 9 December.
