AN inquest has been opened into the death of a Callow End woman whose body was found in the River Severn near Apperley, Gloucestershire, two weeks ago.
Wendy Bell, aged 53, of the Old Butcher's Shop, Upton Road, had left her home on Friday, October 19, between 5.30pm and 6.45pm.
She was found drowned in the river, midway between Tewkesbury and Gloucester, the following day. Her car was found upstream, near the river.
The death is not being treated as suspicious, Cotswold coroner Lester Maddrell was told.
He took formal evidence of identification and adjourned the inquest to a date to be fixed.
