Inquest into Nicola Bulley's death opens
An inquest has been opened into the death of Nicola Bulley, whose body was found in a Lancashire river on Sunday.
The 45-year-old was the focus of a huge missing person search before she was found in the River Wyre, a mile from when she was last seen on 27 January.Her family were informed of the date of the inquest but had chosen not to attend, coroner Dr James Adeley said.Dr Adeley said he had contacted surgeon Andrew Edwards to ask him to compare dental records obtained by police from the Great Eccleston dental surgery.
He said remaining evidence gathered by police and the post-mortem examination required "further evaluation" and a full inquest was likely to be held in June, once availability of a pathologist had been checked.He said: "This will allow time to collate the facts of the case and allow the experts involved to finalise the findings from investigations that still need to be undertaken.
Her dog was found shortly afterwards along with her phone - still connected to a work conference call - on a bench by a steep riverbank.
