Nicola Bulley died as a result of drowning and was alive when she fell into the water, a Home Office pathologist has said.
Dr Alison Armour, giving evidence at an inquest at County Hall in Preston, said watery fluid and fragments of dirt found inside Ms Bulley's body were "typical features we see in cases of drowning".
She added that Ms Bulley was alive when she entered the water and that there was "no evidence" she was harmed before falling into the Wyre.
