THE only question remaining to be addressed by an inquest into the death of a baby in 2006 was who was responsible, a coroner said today.
Coroner Chris Webster is conducting an inquiry into the death of eight-month-old Zach Wayne Taylor at Sorell.
He said the identity of the deceased person was well established, as was the manner, time and place of the death.
The only question remaining to be determined was who was responsible for Zach's death, which was caused by his suffocation on talcum powder.
Mr Webster said there were "two and a half" people remaining "in the loop".
The dead child's mother Samantha Sybeema Taylor gave further evidence today.
She said she had noticed a bruise on the child's face and a small injury to his nose when she last saw him alive, but noticed much more serious injuries when she found him dead.
The court heard her boyfriend Ian Pennicott -- who is the only remaining witness expected to give evidence -- was unable to appear as he was in a drug and alcohol treatment facility.
Ms Taylor earlier gave evidence that if she or her young daughter had not harmed Zach, it must have been Mr Pennicott.
She admitted she and Mr Pennicott had used speed and cannabis the night before her son died.
Mr Webster adjourned the inquest until December 18.
