The grim discovery was made on Friday afternoon (November 19) by the North Wales Underwater Search and Marine Unit combing the lakes at Orrell Water Park."

There seem to be so many suicides, and a number women too. Sure it never used to be this prevalent?

Although police appeal still live, no further appeal added.

And as above posts here, there are comments to her having been found deceased.

I'd say it was almost certain that the body found was that of Christine. Perhaps there are identification formalities that are taking longer than expected. I have to say that Greater Manchester Police don't seem to be updating their missing persons appeals particularly well at the moment.

I can't find anything that unequivocally confirms that the body found was that of Christine. Maybe we'll have to wait until the inquest has finished.

A woman who drowned in a lake took her own life after fearing a chronic eye problem made her look 'disfigured', an inquest has heard.


Very sad and tragic.

Condolences to family and friends.
