Counsel assisting the coroner, Tim Game SC, said that despite Atkins' many false accounts, there wasn't sufficient evidence to suggest his actions killed Mr Leveson. Mr Leveson's parents believe their son could have died by strangulation or smothering, but Mr Game said on Tuesday there wasn't supporting forensic evidence or evidence of a struggle in Mr Leveson's Cronulla apartment. He told the court there was "ultimately no reliable objective evidence" as to the manner and cause of Mr Leveson's death, and submitted that the coroner should make an open finding. As they left Glebe Coroner's Court, Mark and Faye Leveson said they were hoping for the best but expecting the worst. "If we get an open finding, we'll have to just live with that, but we know in our hearts who was responsible for it."
