Kathleen Miners, 82, was found dead on Rhyl beach after a major search was launched when she was reported in distress.
Kathleen Miners, an 82-year-old retired health visitor from Cae Topyn, Denbigh, has been named as the woman found dead on Rhyl beach. Senior Coroner for North Wales East and Central John Gittins confirmed her identity at the opening of an inquest held in Ruthin.
On 25 October, a concerned member of the public called police at about 10.50am to report an elderly woman crying and in distress near the harbour. Police officers attended but were unable to locate her, prompting an air and sea search to be launched.
At 11.16am the same morning, another member of the public spotted Mrs Miners' body on the beach. Her car was found nearby.
Pathologist Dr Mark Atkinson, who conducted a post-mortem examination, gave the provisional cause of death as drowning. He said there was no sign of any natural disease. The coroner noted that a note was found at Mrs Miners' home.
The inquest has been adjourned to a date to be fixed.
