Nicola Bulley's Fitbit gave heartrate reading for eight days after drowning, inquest hears

Nicola Bulley's Fitbit wristwatch continued to give a heartrate output for eight days after she drowned, an inquest yesterday heard. The 45-year-old mum of two, who went missing on January 27, drowned in the River Wyre - with no evidence of 'third party' involvement the coroner's court was told.

Her phone was found on a bench overlooking the water, still connected to a work Teams meeting, while her dog, Willow, was discovered wandering nearby. Her body was recovered three weeks later on February 19, following a widespread search of St Michaels, Lancashire.

The Fitbit was still attached to Nicola's wrist when she was pulled from the water, and is believed to have lost power come February 4 - as no further data was obtained beyond that point. When it was placed on charge, it also displayed that date.
