The father of Evan Fox told a coroner’s court yesterday that his son showed no signs of depression or suicidal thoughts in the days leading up to his death, calling the incident “completely out of character” as the inquest into the 33-year-old’s suspected suicide got underway.

Adrian Farrington gave emotional testimony before Coroner Kara Turnquest-Deveaux, recounting the days before his son’s body was found in a bushy area off Frank Watson Boulevard on April 29, 2024.

Fox had been reported missing two days prior. His decomposing body was discovered alongside his truck, with a shotgun found nearby.

Farrington said he was the one who identified his son’s body at the morgue. He insisted that Evan had never shown signs of emotional distress, nor did he believe his son was capable of harming himself.

“My son was always a happy person,” he said. “He was well-liked by his peers and family alike.”

Fox’s death stunned relatives and friends, many of whom have continued to question the circumstances surrounding his final days.

Angelo Whitfield is serving as the evidence marshall in the case. His recent recall to the Royal Bahamas Defence Force was rescinded earlier this month to allow him to participate in the proceedings.
