Thanks for the update @StillDiggin

Just such a sad case - the run up for Christmas can be such a hard time for people.

I hope that her family are slowly but surely managing to rebuild their lives.

Senior coroner Jacqueline Lake said she believed Mrs Lord intended to enter the water but did not intend to take her own life and concluded she died by misadventure.

[...]

A statement from her husband Clive Lord, read out in court, said: "Gaynor had recently watched a TV show about swimming in ice cold water.

"She’s never done it herself but I don’t know if in her confused state she may have been thinking about this."
