Place: River Wey, Burnham, Surrey
Lily Mary Bunting was found dead in the River Wey at Burnham.
Her death was said to have not been due to drowning but due to alcohol poisoning as the amount of alcohol she had consumed was so great that she was practically so unconscious that she was unable to breath and therefore drowned without breathing in the water. However, she was not known to drink.
