The watch was plugged in when it was recovered and showed activity until it lost power on February 4
Nicola Bulley's Fitbit gave a heart rate output for eight days after she drowned, an inquest heard. The mum-of-two drowned after entering the cold river water - and there is no evidence anyone else was involved in her death, the coroner's court was told on the first day of an inquest on Monday.
The Fitbit was still attached to her wrist and is believed to have lost power on February 4 as no further data had been obtained beyond that point and when it was placed on charge it displayed that date.After 09.30, no further steps were recorded by the device. Nicola's Fitbit and car keys were recovered along with her body, a senior police officer who investigated her disappearance said.
Professor Michael Tipton, a world expert in drowning, said there would have been a "fairly rapid incapacitation" after Nicola went into the river, which could have been as cold as 3C.Prof Tipton said he agreed with Home Office pathologist Alison Armour, who conducted a post-mortem examination and concluded Nicola drowned.
Pc Matthew Thackray, a police underwater diver, said the area where Nicola is believed to have gone into the water has a steep slope.
