Despite medical intervention, she was pronounced dead that day. 

An inquest into her death opened on Wednesday, December 20 at Bolton Coroners Court. 

Police Coroners Officer Julie Ann Hyde said: "On December 6 this year, Ms Smith was found hanging at her home address by her partner. 

"Despite medical intervention, her condition deteriorated. She was confirmed dead on December 6." 

Ms Hyde said there had been a police investigation, which found that there 'didn't appear to be' any suspicious circumstances.
