Subject to confirmation at formal inquest proceedings, the deceased has been identified as Sally Budden, (pictured above) from Elmswell.
Sally is survived by her sons Rob and Andrew who issued the following statement on behalf of the family:
“We are absolutely heartbroken at the loss of our mum, Sally, and would like to thank the emergency services and members of the public for their incredible efforts on the day.
“Our heartfelt thanks also to everyone who has shared their love and memories with us. Mum brought fun, kindness and laughter to everyone who knew her, and we will all miss her so much.”
