The family of a man who vanished from a tropical island in 2022 says the inquest into his death ends a horror four years, while maintaining hope of one day finding his body. Ben Chisholm, 22, was last seen on Magnetic Island, 8 kilometres off the coast of Townsville, in July 2022. His mother, Jackie Burgess, this week told a Townsville inquest into his disappearance that her son was full of life and that Magnetic Island was "Ben's island home".
