A beautiful businesswoman lay dead in a hot tub in her bikini in parents' garden for three days

News24xx.com - A young businesswoman who drowned in a hot tub in her family home, after she was not found for three days. Known that the woman named Ella-Louise Tunney having an epileptic fit. Ella-Louise Tunney's father called police after she appeared to vanish from their home in Eton Wick, near Windsor in Berkshire last June. 

He searched nearby fields and phoned her workplace, the financial services firm Alpha FX, where she worked as head of settlements. When police searched the property three days later they lifted the cover of the inflatable hot tub and found her submerged beneath the water, wearing swimwear.  

Family members looking for Ms Tunney had passed it numerous times but did not think anything was amiss because the cover was on top. 

Ms Tunney had been painting her nails ahead of spending an evening in the hot tub with friends when she fell in. Ms Tunney had been diagnosed with epilepsy as a teenager but had managed to keep it under control with medication. 

But in November 2017 the condition worsened. On one occasion, she had to be dragged out of the bath by a colleague on a work trip. When she disappeared on June 23, her father Lee Tunney assumed she had gone to sleep in the annex which she lived in, some 60 yards from the main house at the end of the garden. 

When she failed to appear the next day, he thought she might be out watching the World Cup with friends, despite having left her handbag and phone at home. By Monday, June 25, Mr Tunney began desperately searching looking for his daughter.

On Monday he phoned her workplace, and found they also hadn't heard from her. He then filed a missing person report with the police.   When Police Constable Mohammed Sajad from Thames Valley Police arrived at 10.15am, he found Mr Tunney opposite the house in a field with his dog, looking for his daughter.

"Everything looked undisturbed, clothes were on the bed in the annexe. It was obvious someone was living there. Something caught my eye in the pool. I stepped away to have a look."

When PC Sajad and Mr Tunney pulled back the floating cover on the hot tub, they found Ms Tunney lying face down. A post mortem examination gave the cause of death as drowning after having an epileptic fit. The coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death.
