Gaynor Lord died by misadventure after entering Norwich river, coroner finds

Lord disappeared after she left her shift at a department store's gin counter in Norwich at 2.45pm on 8 December 2023. CCTV footage showed her hurrying through the city. Her clothes and belongings were found in a park near the River Wensum.

Her body was recovered from the river after a week-long police search during which they consulted officers from Lancashire constabulary who worked on the search for Nicola Bulley earlier that year.

Norfolk's senior coroner, Jacqueline Lake, recorded a conclusion of death by misadventure and said she was satisfied Lord had "intended to enter the water, but I do find she didn't intend to die by her actions".

The coroner said Lord's mental health was noted as "stable" in January 2023, but "there was some evidence in the more recent past that she was acting out of character".

Gündogan and Foden cash in for City before McAtee makes his mark

There were hints here of how Manchester City might struggle in Rodri's absence as they struggled to administer the control their No 6 often brings. Yet Pep Guardiola's men still sailed to a 4-0 victory, James McAtee's 73rdminute strike the last of these, which was a first in club colours and sealed City's opening win of this 36-side league phase.

Adeyemi fires treble as Celtic are humiliated in Dortmund

The Champions League has a habit of inflicting these inglorious episodes on Celtic. It is difficult to shake the notion that this big fish simply cannot swim when removed from its small domestic pond. Borussia Dortmund toyed with and teased their visitors in a match that was over as a contest long before the half-time whistle blew.
