The inquest into the death of Melissa Hoskins, the wife of former Australian cyclist Rohan Dennis, continues, but her family’s sadness continues unabated. This Tuesday, the parents of the former cyclist published a press release to describe all the pain they have felt since December 31 and the death of their daughter. “Words are not enough to describe our grief and the tragic circumstances of Melissa’s death,” they wrote. We are all absolutely devastated and still struggling to come to terms with what happened. »

Peter and Amanda Hoskins paid tribute to their daughter, a few days before she was buried in her hometown of Perth. “Not only have we lost a daughter and a sister, but her children have lost their mother,” they continued. A free spirit, someone with a big heart, patience and zest for life. We must honor her memory so that her children can grow up knowing who she was, what she stood for and what she gave to everyone who met her. »

This Sunday, the young woman was hit by a motorist while she was on the sidewalk a few meters from her home in the suburbs of Adelaide. After hanging on to the car door, she was dragged several meters, according to local media. She died of her injuries in hospital a few hours later. Her husband, former world time trial champion Rohan Dennis, was then arrested and released on bail. He is charged with “manslaughter by reckless driving and endangering the lives of others”. An investigation to determine whether it was voluntary or not is still underway; private cameras in the surrounding area could allow the authorities to clarify the gray areas.
