An inquest into the death of Nicola Bulley concluded earlier today that the mum died accidentally after falling into cold water. The 45-year-old sparked a police manhunt after vanishing while out walking the family dog.
The inquest held at County Hall, Preston, has helped to shed light on the events leading up to the death of the mortgage advisor in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire. Nicola had dropped her kids off at school on January 27 before disappearing while taking dog Willow along the River Wyre.
Emergency services launched a desperate search for the mum which resulted in her body being found on February 19. According to the Mirror, it was revealed yesterday that witnesses described hearing a scream around the time of the mum's death.
