Television librarian Lolita Visa, 32, was pulled from the water after travelling to the Welsh seaside resort more than 110 miles from her home. An inquest was told she travelled from Halifax, West Yorks, to visit her father in Manchester in the days before her mystery death. She then headed to Liverpool and then to Llandudno, North Wales.

Mr Gittins said: "The deceased was brought aboard the lifeboat and transported to lifeboat station." The hearing was told a post mortem examination found injuries "consistent with time submerged in water". Her inquest was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
