Missing mum-of-two Nicola Bulley died from drowning and was alive when she entered the water, the inquest into her death heard today.
Home Office pathologist Alison Armour, who carried out the post-mortem examination on the body of Ms Bulley, 45, said the evidence of water in her lungs and stomach led her to conclude the cause of death was drowning, and there was no other "third party" involved in her death.
Ms Bulley mysteriously vanished after dropping her daughters, aged six and nine, at school, then taking her usual dog walk along the River Wyre in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire, on January 27.
