A WOMAN who “everyone loved” tragically died in an accident after losing her footing on the barge where she lived, a coroner ruled.
An inquest into the death of Lucy Grace Spafford, 34, was held virtually at Bradford Coroners’ Court yesterday.
She was recovered from the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, near Bingley, on Wednesday, November 25 last year.
Her death sparked an outpouring of grief from those who knew her.
“She was just a bright star and was everyone’s best friend,” said Lucy’s mum, Maggie Garratt in a tribute to the Telegraph & Argus last year, and added: “She was artistic, funny, witty, but she never thought that much of herself, she was always thinking of other people.”
