Talented artist went out on a bike ride and never came home

A 'helpful and caring' Manchester woman was found dead after going out on a bike ride.
Rachel Jackson's body was found in Avenham Park, Preston, a day after she was reported missing. The 38-year-old, who was a talented artist, was staying with a friend at the time but went out on her bike after complaining that she was feeling hot.
An inquest at Preston Coroner's Court today (Thursday) heard that Rachel had travelled from her home in Didsbury to Preston on March 30 of this year to visit her friend, Lucy Nowak, who was the mother of Rachel's four-year-old nephew.

They visited the park and played in the play area before returning to Lucy's home, Lancs Live reports. Rachel told her friend she was feeling unwell and had been seen by mental health services the day before.
She was worried about a letter she received from HMRC and had 'not been her best' since returning from a holiday in Barcelona, Lucy said. Rachel stayed with Lucy that night, and spent the following day laughing and joking with her young nephew.
But at 7pm she said she was feeling hot and went out for a ride on her purple bike. When she did not return, Lucy tried to call her but Rachel didn't answer - although this was not unusual as she would often forget to charge her phone, she said.
Lucy contacted the emergency services and a missing person inquiry was launched. The police helicopter and LFRS drone were sent to search the area around Avenham Park, along with officers on foot.
At 3pm the next day, Rachel's bike was discovered in a wooded area. Her body was found a short distance away, in dense woodland.
Det Insp Simon Gray confirmed there was no evidence of any
