The press watchdog is not currently planning to investigate newspaper coverage of the disappearance of Nicola Bulley. But Ipso said it was not ruling out a probe after Ms Bulley's family criticised 'appalling' coverage by some media.
Ms Bulley drowned after accidentally falling into cold water, an inquest this week ruled. The 45-year-old vanished after dropping off her daughters, six and nine, at school and taking her usual dog walk along the River Wyre in St Michael’s, Lancashire, on January 27.
The search for Ms Bulley and police investigation received nationwide coverage and dominated headlines for days. Her family criticised the role the media played during the probe and accused the press of having 'taken it upon themselves to run stories about us to sell papers and increase their own profits'.
