The disappearance of Nicola Bulley

GreatAuk said:
Maybe just one of those 'tidying up' / organising things that people sometimes do before taking their own life. Phone will break in water, therefore leave neatly on bench.

Or if it wasn't suicide then left it there while she went down to the river for whatever other reason so it wouldn't get wet.

But yeah guess we will never know unless a new witness (or suspect) turns up.

This is what I mean, we'll never know, just look at the replies so many different options for why it was left that can only be speculated about, I'm sure others will have their own ideas why

How did you end up in there?

Anorexia/Bulimia.
I basically starved myself from 1985 and by the time April 1988 came along my mind was damaged (some would say it still is).
The funny thing was that 75% of patients like me were male and older than me (I was 30) but all you ever hear about is young girls.
Even in the young eating disorder ward it was about 75% male.

Oh sorry I thought you were working in there, was a bit insensitive of me.

I'm surprised at that tbh as like you say it always seems to be a predominately female problem. I know someone who spent a few years in the local mental hospital for the same thing and now her daughter suffers the same which has never been cured.

Absolutely zero problem and no apologies needed, it helps me to talk about it because you never really 'recover' even though I am a fat *******.
The only person who won't discuss it is my wife and she has wiped it from her memory, it was a bad time for her.
 
I'm still of the same opinion I've had throughout.

She put the phone down because she needed two hands/might fall in.
She (for whatever reason) went to the waters edge.
She fell in, and couldn't get out.


That or suicide.

Just heard on Sky that some walkers heard a scream, so I guess she either screamed while in the water, or when she fell in, still doesn't rule out suicide but the most reasonable assumption is she just fell in by accident
 
Just seeing on the news that apparently the expert giving evidence was saying that the time between hitting the water and becoming unconscious in those conditions could be as low as 30 seconds, which isn't long at all, especially if you've knocked your head and are disorientated from a fall and unexpected immersion :(
It reminds me of what I'd read about aircraft crashes, including one where a chopper had a gearbox failure and hit the water in the north sea and the autopsies showed that everyone was alive when it hit the water and all but one drowned due to disorientation upon hitting the water, IIRC the survivor had done cold water swimming for pleasure. The result of the investigation was a major change in equipment and training on all north sea choppers, IIRC to include actual cold water escape training simulators and small bottles of oxygen to give them a chance to get out.
