The Fitbit worn by Nicola Bulley when she died continued to give a heart rate output for eight days after she drowned, an inquest has heard. The 45-year-old went missing in January while on a dog walk along the River Wyre, in St Michael's, Lancashire.
The mum-of-two's disappearance sparked a major police investigation and an extensive search of the river by divers. Her body was eventually found on February 27- 24 days after she went missing.
At the time of her disappearance, Nicola's phone was found on a bench overlooking the river. It was still connected to a work Teams call, according to The Mirror.

When her body was found, she was still wearing her Fitbit watch. It is believed to have lost power on February 4, as that is when it stopped recording data and when it was placed on charge it began showing that date.
On January 27, the device recorded 4,548 steps between 8am and 9.30am. After that, no further steps were recorded. However, the watch continued to record what it perceived as a heart rate.
Speaking during the first day of the inquest at Preston's County Hall, DC Keith Greenhaugh said: "A possible explanation for Nicola’s Fitbit continuing to provide [heart rate] output sporadically until February 4 could be a result of the movement of water passing between the device and Nicola’s wrist. Testing on inanimate objects provided similar results when there was movement in the water."
Dc Greenhaugh said he believed analysis of the device showed it was "very possible" that Nicola entered the water at 9.22am on January 27. Drowning experts told the hearing that entering cold water can cause victims to gasp and inhale
