Gaynor was a mother-of-three who tragically passed away last year. During the inquest today, it was revealed that she had mentioned a woman named Nicola Bulley before her death. It was a heartbreaking reminder of the life lost too soon.
According to the court, Gaynor was working as a shop assistant at Jarrold's department store in Norwich on December 8th when she suddenly disappeared. She had sent a message to a friend who had passed away, saying "Help." Her bag and some of her clothing were found in a nearby park, and her naked body was recovered a week later in the river.
The senior coroner, Jacqueline Lake, concluded that Gaynor's death was a misadventure and that there was no evidence to suggest that she had intended to take her own life. The court heard that Gaynor had a history of epilepsy and had previously had psychotic episodes. However, she had been doing well and was even keeping fit with gym visits and YouTube workouts.
Gaynor's husband, Clive, shared that she had a recent interest in wild swimming after watching a program about it. He also mentioned that Gaynor had a seizure four days before her disappearance, which was followed by a deep sleep and no memory of what had happened. On the day of her disappearance, she seemed to be in good spirits and had even discussed plans for Christmas and a holiday to Japan.
However, as the day went on, Gaynor's behavior became increasingly erratic. A friend, June Rudram, recalled her "verbal diarrhea" and how she had mentioned "disappearing like Nicola" and that people would come looking for her. It was later revealed that Nicola Bulley had gone missing in 2023 and her body was found weeks later in a river.
Gaynor's husband also shared that she had been taking HRT for her menopause, and he believed she may have mixed up her medication on the day of her disappearance. He also mentioned that she had been acting out of character, and her recent interest in cold water swimming was unusual for her.
The police investigation found that Gaynor had been walking around the city and had even stopped at an art center and a theater before heading to the park. A warden at the park reported seeing a woman matching Gaynor's description trying to get into his van. A walker later found some of Gaynor's items near the river, and her body was recovered a week later.
The coroner concluded that Gaynor's death was a misadventure, and she did not intend to take her own life. She acknowledged that Gaynor's mental health had been stable, but there was evidence that she had been acting out of character in the days leading up to her death.
To Gaynor's family, the coroner expressed her sympathy for their loss and offered her condolences to her husband, daughters, and sister. It was a tragic and unexpected loss of a woman who was described as social, healthy, and loved her job.
Gaynor's death serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of mental health awareness. May she rest in peace.
