Inquest into Death of Woman on Yr Wyddfa Opens in Caernarfon
An inquest has opened into the death of Sophie Goodyer-Bird, a 35-year-old nail technician from Birmingham, who collapsed and died while descending Yr Wyddfa, Wales’ highest peak, in July. The inquest, conducted by senior coroner Kate Robertson, took place at a hearing in Caernarfon.
On July 10, Ms Goodyer-Bird and a friend ascended the mountain together. During the descent, she became “increasingly tired,” and near the end of their hike, she became “unresponsive.” Despite efforts by individuals nearby to carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), Ms Goodyer-Bird was declared deceased at 2:18 PM on that day.
Her death was confirmed by her friend, Sophie Simpson. Following the incident, a post-mortem examination was carried out, revealing a provisional cause of death attributed to “exertional heat stroke.” The inquest has been adjourned for further investigation.
