The Dartford Crossing
A 52-year-old woman died after jumping from the Dartford Crossing, an inquest heard.
Ann Harvey was found on the foreshore, just above the water line near Ingress Park, at 8.30pm on February 28.
Police, Gravesend RNLI and ambulance service attended the scene.
Ms Harvey’s cause of death was given as partial transection of the aorta - a condition where the largest artery in the body is torn due to trauma.
North West Kent coroner Roger Hatch gave a verdict of suicide at an inquest held at Gravesend Old Town Hall yesterday (April 20).
