Woman found dead on Menai Strait shore named at inquest

Emma Davies, a 42‑year‑old from Bro Waun in Waunfawr, near Caernarfon, has been named as the person whose body was found.

An inquest into her death was opened in Caernarfon this week by senior coroner for north west Wales, Kate Robertson.

Ms Davies was discovered on the shoreline on August 18.

The inquest is now adjourned to be concluded at a later date.

Emergency services were called shortly after 11.19am on the morning of the incident.

An air ambulance landed on the nearby Belgian Promenade and the Britannia Bridge was closed in both directions while crews responded.

At the time, North Wales Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious.

A spokesperson added: “We are saddened to confirm that the body of a woman was discovered in the Menai Strait at 11.19am on Tuesday.

"The coroner has been informed. Our thoughts remain with the woman’s family and loved ones.”
