Quinn's ANR homology 4-manifold conjecture for Poincaré 4-complexes

From papers

Let X4X^4 be a Poincaré 44--complex, and let s(X4)s(X^4) denote its total surgery obstruction.

Quinn's conjecture. If s(X4)=0s(X^4)=0, then X4X^4 is (simple) homotopy equivalent to an ANR homology 44--manifold.

This conjecture is proposed as a four-dimensional analogue of the surgery-theoretic manifold recognition theorem in dimensions at least five. The supplied source discusses Quinn's strategy for proving it, but gives no resolution.
