A verdict of misadvenutre was recorded at Bournemouth Coroner's Court this morning in the sad case of the lady who died in Tilly Whim Caves on 2 November.
Mark Rodaway, Portland Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre Manager, says:
"Any death at sea is a tragedy and has a profound impact on the family, friends and all those involved in the search and rescue operation. Our thoughts are with those that have been affected during this difficult time.
“This was a complex rescue, with winds gusting up to 60mph, horrendous sea conditions combined with high tide and limited access to the cave. This was proven when one of our Coastguard Rescue Officers risked his own life when attempting to abseil down a narrow blow hole.
“I am confident the Coastguard helicopter crew, Coastguard Rescue Teams and the RNLI lifeboat crews on scene that day made every effort while there was still a chance of a successful rescue outcome.”
