An investigation has begun into the death of Victoria Taylor, a mother who was previously reported missing.

Victoria Taylor, a 34-year-old mother, was living in Malton, North Yorkshire when she went missing on September 30. Her loved ones reported her disappearance and a large-scale search was launched to find her. Sadly, her body was discovered three weeks later on October 22 in the River Derwent.

During the inquest into her death, North Yorkshire coroner Catherine Cundy revealed that the provisional cause of Ms. Taylor's death was drowning. The hearing was opened and adjourned on Thursday at County Hall in Northallerton. Ms. Cundy also mentioned that Ms. Taylor's fiancé had reported her missing on October 1, 2024.

On the day of her disappearance, Ms. Taylor was captured on CCTV footage leaving her home at 9am and later purchasing items at a BP garage. She was also seen at Malton bus station and walking towards the play park on Riverside Walk at 12.30pm. However, her whereabouts after that remained a mystery until her body was found in the river.

At the inquest, it was also revealed that no family members were present and the hearing was adjourned to a later date. The police had informed Ms. Taylor's family on the day her body was found and they were understandably devastated. Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Fox of North Yorkshire Police expressed their gratitude for the support from the community during this difficult time.

The search for Ms. Taylor included the use of specialist sonar equipment and daily operations by local volunteers. Divers eventually found her body in the river, near where some of her possessions were discovered after she went missing. The cause of her death was determined to be drowning.

It is clear that Ms. Taylor's disappearance had a deep impact on the communities of Malton and Norton. Her loved ones and those closest to her were heartbroken by her loss. The support from the community was greatly appreciated and helped them cope with the difficult situation. The inquest was adjourned to a later date and the investigation into Ms. Taylor's death continues.
