Shannon Royal, 28, dies after stabbing in North Albury; no arrest made
Shannon Royal, 28, died after being stabbed and having life support withdrawn, with his family appealing for information.
Shannon Royal, 28, was found with a stab wound to his neck on Calimo St in North Albury about 1am on Sunday, September 27. Shannon received CPR at the scene before being taken to hospital in critical condition.
Doctors found catastrophic brain damage and told his family he would not recover. For about a week, his family held hope while he remained on life support.
On October 4, they made the decision to switch off the machines. Two young children are now growing up without their father.
His sister Shantelle told media the family is struggling with nightmares and trauma. Police have launched a murder investigation under Strike Force Metron but no arrest has been made.
Investigators are particularly seeking CCTV, mobile phone or dashcam footage. A GoFundMe appeal is raising money for his funeral and to bring him home to Riddells Creek for burial.
