Nicola Bulley's family urge the public 'to look at the facts' and 'ignore amateur opinions' after coroner rules she accidentally drowned
The family of Nicola Bulley have urged the public to 'look at the facts' and 'ignore any amateur views and opinions' after a coroner ruled the mum-of-two drowned accidentally.
Walking her dog, the coroner was told, was a morning routine and she would do two 'loops' of fields near the river then return to the school to get the car. Her body was found in the river 23 days after she went missing. But he said he was unable to determine exactly why she entered the water. The coroner said he found that 'on January 27 at around 9.22am, Nicola Jane Bulley fell into the River Wyre and died almost immediately'.
The Bulley family, through their barrister, said they were 'of the view' that 'rumour, suspicion and speculation' has been 'allayed by the evidence' heard. "Her behaviour in the week before hear death was back to normal, she had restarted her hormone replacement therapy, stopped drinking some time before, was making plans for play dates and spa days with several people, was becoming increasingly successful at her new career as a mortgage broker and behaved entirely normally during her parents' visit of the night before, and with Paul Ansell on the morning of her death.
CCTV from the fourth point only showed one direction, but this also showed nobody, the inquest heard. "The help and support we have received over these past few months has meant more than words can say. From family and friends to complete strangers across the country and the world, thank you.
