Drowning not suspicious

Published: Monday, 27 June 2011

THE death of a woman found drowned in the Grand Union Canal at Leicester was not suspicious, an inquest has heard.

It was decided that she had taken her own life, having suffered from mental depression for many years, Alan Tilbury tells us.

Missing

Mrs Bradly had been missing from home for over two weeks before her body was eventually discovered in the waterway, after an intensive police search.

Two 'goodbye' letters had been subsequently found, and it was told that she had threatened to commit suicide in the past, and that she suffered from bipolar disorder and manic depression.

The verdict, by coroner Catherine Mason, was that Mrs Bradly took her own life but at a time of a state of imbalance.
