Help need to find next-of-kin
Police are appealing for information to trace the next-of-kin of East Devon woman Lesley Stevens, 63, who drowned at Lyme Regis in April.
Lesley left her home at 7am on Monday 19 April and her body was located in the water off Lyme Regis at 10.30am.
Ms Stevens lived in the village of Membury, near Axminster, for 18 years. Prior to this, she lived in Seaton having moved to East Devon from Kent.
Lesley worked as a staff nurse in the community care team at Axminster Hospital. She drove a red Citroen C1 which was located parked in Lyme Regis following her body being found.
Lesley is believed to have grown-up in, or lived in, the Kent area and may have next-of-kin there. It's thought she was a widow, with her husband dying before she moved to Membury.
Lesley’s body is currently being retained by Dorset coroner’s office while her next-of-kin are traced.
Anyone who has any information is asked to contact police on 101 or via email at 101@dc.police.uk quoting reference, EN/6156/21.
