A photographer whose body was found in woodland in Tunbridge Wells died after taking an overdose of beta blockers, an inquest has heard.

Sabrina Goacher was discovered in undergrowth off Church Road and Rusthall Commons, just before 9pm on August 19, shortly after friends and family told police she had disappeared.

Emergency services were called but the 30-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police confirmed last month Miss Goacher's death was not being treated as suspicious but described it as being "unexplained".

However, an inquest opening at Maidstone's County Hall this morning was told a cause of death had been given after a post-mortem as a prescription medication overdose.

The NHS describes propranolol as a beta blocker, which is a type of medication designed to reduce blood pressure, and is often used to treat heart problems, help with anxiety and prevent migraines.

A local man in his 30s, who was known to Miss Goacher, was arrested during the course of the investigation but was never charged.

Police did not confirm why the man was arrested.

Miss Goacher, who was born in Maidstone but lived in Tunbridge Wells, was a popular photographer who worked with local festivals and bands as well as being employed as a front of house supervisor at West Kent College.

She also worked on-and-off at Cassidy's Sports Bar in Castle Street for 12 years, where she was fondly remembered by staff.

Landlord John Hoare said in August: "It's difficult to describe someone who was just so lovely."

Friends also paid tribute to her on social media, with one calling her "one of the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met".

Miss Goacher had last been spotted at 6.17am on Sunday, August 18 in St John's Road wearing a yellow reversible jacket, and then was seen again six minutes later in Mount Ephraim with the jacket reversed and showing a dark green material with yellow lining.

Coroner Roger Hatch adjourned the full inquest into her death to a later date.
