Woman, 27, died in hospital after being found unconscious in water near Telford town park
A young woman died after being found unconscious in a pool of water near Telford town park.
Courtney Jade Kirsty Bodenham, aged 27, was discovered by her boyfriend near a waterfall by the park on April 30 this year.
An inquest into her death was opened at Shropshire Coroner’s Court, Guildhall, Shrewsbury.
It was said that paramedics attended the scene and found Miss Bodenham on her back in ankle deep water. It was a hot day, with temperatures of more than 20C.
Firefighters pulled Miss Bodenham, who was wearing a swimming suit, out of the water and she was taken to Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
The inquest was told that after medics stabilised Miss Bodenham, who was from Birmingham, she was “being kept alive by machines” and there was no brain activity.
The next day on May 1, her life support was switched off and she died with her family present.
Heath Westerman, deputy coroner for Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, adjourned the inquest to November 5 this year.
