Fresh details surrounding the tragic last moments of a young man who went missing in the Australian outback have been shared in court. Jayden Penno-Tompsett, 22, was on road trip from Newcastle, New South Wales, to Cairns when he vanished without a trace near the remote town of Charters Towers, north Queensland, on New Year's Eve in 2017. Mr Penno-Tompsett and his friend Lucas Tattersall were driving 26 hours north in a red Nissan Pulsar to meet friends and family for the end of year celebrations. A pre-inquest conference at the Cairns Coroner's Court heard Mr Penno-Tompsett suffered a 'sudden and acute decompression in his mental health' early on December 31, Cairns Post reported.
