A 69-year-old woman who died after being pulled from an Essex river has been named by police.
Rose Williams, of Larkspur Close, Witham, was pulled from the River Brain by police after her mobility scooter was spotted in the water on Friday.
Officers tried to resuscitate her, but she was pronounced dead at the scene near River's Walk junction with Guithavon Road in Witham.
A post mortem examination will be carried out next week.
A section of River Walk was closed for four hours while investigators carried out their enquiries and the scooter was recovered.
Anyone who saw the woman travelling on her red disability scooter between 1800 and 1930 GMT on Friday is asked to contact Essex Police.
