A woman aged 41 tragically passed away following a cliff fall at a beach in the UK earlier this month, an inquest revealed.
Rachel Anne Gwilliam, on Monday, July 2, was at Pentreath Beach on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall when she fell from a cliff. Emergency services responded to the incident around 12:30 pm.
The South Western Ambulance Service Foundation Trust (SWASFT) spokesperson mentioned that the individual was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth. Multiple ambulance services and a rescue helicopter were dispatched to the scene.
HM Coastguard stated that crews from Mullion and Porthoustock, an RNLI lifeboat from Lizard, and a search and rescue helicopter from Newquay were also present at the scene.
Rachel was admitted to Derriford Hospital but unfortunately succumbed to her injuries on July 21, with a traumatic brain injury from the fall cited as the cause of death.
An inquest into her death has been initiated by the coroner. Senior Devon coroner Philip Spinney disclosed that Rachel Gwilliam hailed from Reading in Berkshire, resided in Billingshurst, was married, and worked as an accountant. The inquest has been adjourned for a full hearing at a later date.
