Woman's body discovered after becoming trapped in mud while taking a walk by a river.

It was a beautiful day on the Solway estuary when Shona Campbell, a 74-year-old woman, decided to take a leisurely walk near the river. However, things took a turn for the worst when she found herself stuck in a patch of mud. In a panic, she called for help and soon, a search party was launched with the help of local and national police as well as other emergency services.

Despite their best efforts, the search was called off the next day when a body was discovered in the area. It was later confirmed to be Ms. Campbell's. She had been staying at a nearby caravan park and was last seen on Monday evening. The cold temperatures overnight added to the urgency of finding her.

While formal identification is still pending, Ms. Campbell's family has been notified of the tragic discovery. The police have also released a statement saying that the death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious.

According to Stewart Bryden, a senior coastal operations officer with HM Coastguard, the distress call came in around 5:00 pm on Tuesday. Despite their best efforts, the search team was unable to locate Ms. Campbell until the next day. Mr. Bryden also mentioned the dangers of quicksand and the unpredictable nature of tidal movements in the area.

The Solway estuary is known for its fast tides and has been the site of many tragic accidents. The Agency urges everyone to follow them on social media for the latest updates and to sign up for push alerts to stay informed. Our thoughts go out to Ms. Campbell's family during this difficult time.
