Everything from day one of the inquest into the mum-of-two's tragic disappearance
As crowds of press photographers and TV crews gathered outside the heavily-guarded entrance, inside County Hall the family of Nicola Bulley finally heard how the much-loved mum-of-two lost her life.
Extra security was in place for the inquest into due to the significant social media interest in the case. The disappearance prompted widespread speculation at the time - which Dr James Adeley, senior coroner for Lancashire, made a point of stating would not be considered. The coroner asked: “If you were in the water and trying to climb out would it be possible to find a foothold on [the bricks]?” PC Thackery replied: “No not at all… it’s very difficult to get out of the water here.”Nicola was described as a "holiday swimmer" and Senior Coroner Dr James Adeley asked PC Thackery to give an account of his experiences of deaths by drowning.
Prof Tipton said: "We have heard people talk about roots to grab onto and points of safety but you would not be thinking about that. You are preoccupied with attempting to hold your breath and get back to the surface. The inquest was attended by Nicola's partner Paul Ansell as well as her parents; Dot and Ernest Bulley, and her sister Louise, who listened intently as several members of the public gave evidence. They were the last people to see Nikki alive before she disappeared.
However, all of those who saw Nicola on the morning she went missing, including some close friends, all said she was acting normally. Toxicology tests revealed there was no abnormal level of drugs, alcohol or medication in her system at the time of her death and she had made plans for the days following January 27.
