Because of the 'extensive decomposition' of her body a pathologist was unable to determine a medical cause of death.
On the morning of January 7, described during the inquest as 'no different to any other day', Bernadette made breakfast, had a cup of tea with her parents at around 10.30am and then said she 'fancied going out'. Her demeanour 'didn't raise any flags', the coroner said.
