Bradley John Murdoch died in July 2025 in Alice Springs Hospital after throat cancer.
The Northern Territory Coroner said Murdoch yelled for officers to 'get out' as he lay dying.
Police had sought Murdoch’s help to locate Peter Falconio’s remains with family video aids shown to him.
Murdoch was serving a life sentence for Falconio's murder and the assault on Joanne Lees.
Coroner Elisabeth Armitage concluded the inquest into Murdoch’s death.
Murdoch’s death ends some questions but a reward remains for Falconio’s remains, offering up to $500,000.
Murdoch’s prior inquest evidence described his age and background before the case, including his work as a mechanic and truck driver.
Joanne Lees, Falconio’s girlfriend, survived and later testified in related cases.
The inquest occurred after Murdoch’s 2003 arrest and DNA linkage to Falconio’s case aided police investigations.
The coroner found Murdoch received high-quality and timely medical care during his final illness.
