Two verdict options were presented to the jury: death by misadventure and a narrative verdict. The jury returned a narrative verdict in the inquest into George Nkencho.

The decision indicates the jury chose to set out factual findings rather than attribute a specific legal cause like misadventure. The inquest outcome provides an official account of the circumstances surrounding the death and records the jury's findings.
