Abigail Garside, a 30-year-old horsewoman from Blackburn in Lancashire, was found hanged in Harrogate only hours after celebrating her first wedding anniversary. She had shared photographs with her husband marking the occasion at a North Yorkshire resort before her body was discovered the following morning.
Her death has drawn widespread attention and prompted tributes from her family and equestrian community. A full inquest is under way to determine the circumstances, but so far officials have only confirmed the provisional medical cause of death as hanging.
