The coroner, Dr James Adeley, said there was an 'absence of any evidence' in terms of suicide and 'no evidence to support this conclusion!
He said it was likely that Ms Bulley entered the water of the River Wyre in Lancashire at 9.22am on January 27 when her FitBit, which was recovered with her body, recorded a significant spike in her heart rate.
But he said he was unable to determine exactly why she entered the water.
The coroner said he found that 'on January 27 at around 9.22am Nicola Jane Bulley fell into the River Wyre and died almost immediately!
Dr Adeley said there was no sign of natural causes and the only remaining conclusion was accidental death, a conclusion he recorded. He said the evidence ruled out any third-party involvement.
He said all of the witnesses did not note anyone suspicious in the area of the field where Ms Bulley was walking. Det Supt Rebecca Smith said CCTV from three of the four entry points to the field showed nobody acting unusually, added the coroner.
