A coroner has concluded that Gaynor Lord, a 55-year-old woman who went missing after leaving work in Norwich and whose body was recovered from a river a week later, died by misadventure.

Lord disappeared after she left her shift at a department store gin counter in Norwich at 2.45pm on 8 December 2023. CCTV footage showed her hurrying through the city before her clothes and belongings were found in a park near the River Wensum.
