Ellen Lloyd was found dead in the Grand Surrey Canal.
She had gone missing on 10 December 1916 after a party saying that she was going to drown herself, but the doctor said that her body had not been in the water for more than eight days, which left sixteen days unaccounted for.
The coroner said that the situation left them against a blank wall unless the doctor was mistaken.
