Nicola Bulley drowned after accidentally falling into cold water, a coroner has ruled.
The mum-of-two had just dropped off her daughters, aged six and nine, at school when she disappeared while walking her dog along the River Wyre in in St Michael’s, Lancashire, on January 27.
Speaking at an inquest into her death at County Hall in Preston, senior coroner for Lancashire Dr James Adeley expressed his condolences to the family, who were present throughout the hearing.
