A 31-year-old woman tragically died after falling into an 80ft blowhole whilst walking along an clifftop, an inquest heard. Laura Jayne Newcombe was visiting Trevose Head, Cornwall, with her partner, when she plunged into a giant circular hole in the cliff, known as Round Hole.
According to the Mirror, it was originally a sea cave, before erosion caused a large hole to appear at the top. The treacherous site, which is very close to the cliff edge, has no fencing around it. There have been debates over the years about whether it should be made safer or not.
An inquest held into Laura's death on Tuesday, August 16, at Pydar House, Truro, heard that no one witnessed her fall on June 29, 2021.
David Green was on holiday with his mother and taking photographs in the area when the incident occurred. David, who recalled seeing Laura very close to the edge of the blowhole, told the court: "I could see that there was a huge hole to the sea. I found the hole quite shocking."
He walked further to take pictures of the beaches, Constantine and Booby's Bay and, when he came back, Laura was nowhere to be seen. When he and Laura's partner both realised she must have fallen into the hole, he phoned 999. The RNLI and the coastguard, including a rescue helicopter, attended the scene.
Laura was tragically found dead at the bottom of the Round Hole. A toxicology report from Dr Stephen Morley of the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust confirmed that no alcohol or illegal drugs were found in her system.
She had not taken excessive amounts of her prescribed medication either. A GP report from Dr Martin Priest, of Petroc Group Practice in St Columb Major, stated that Laura suffered episodes of poor mental health which she was being treated
