At the opening of the inquest into her death, held in Ruthin today (August 15), it was heard that she was pronounced dead, at the age of 77, at roughly 7.30am by a police sergeant.

Born in Staffordshire, Mrs Bullock worked as a house sales negotiator.

A post-mortem examination, undertaken by Dr Mark Atkinson, provided a provisional cause of death of presumed drowning.
