Inquest Scheduled for Mother’s Tragic Seafront Death

Saffron Cole-Nottage, a 32-year-old mother, tragically died after slipping and becoming trapped between sea defence rocks on February 2, 2025, while walking with her daughter and their dog in Lowestoft, Suffolk. She initially slipped and fell on a slippery path, managed to get up, but fell again with her head lodged between the rocks as the tide was rising, leading to her being partially submerged. Despite efforts by her daughter, members of the public, and emergency services to free her, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident has been described by locals as a tragedy, with the path likened to an 'ice rink' due to algae. A full inquest into her cause of death has been scheduled after a pre-inquest review on June 6. The death is currently treated as unexplained, with no suspicion of foul play.
