An inquest has opened into the death of a 26-year-old woman described by her loved ones as "the life and soul of everything".

Marina Watters was found dead in her home in the Toftwood area of Dereham on April 26.

Following her death, those closest to her spoke of their grief and urged others to open up if they are going through difficult times.

In a tribute shared with this newspaper, her best friend Cherise Barnard said: "She touched everyone she spoke to with her personality and made an impact on everyone who met her."

An inquest into her death opened on Tuesday, with senior coroner Jacqueline Lake confirming Miss Watters was born in Norwich in 1996 and was employed as an accountant.

The medical cause of death was given as hanging.

A full inquest is due to be held on Tuesday, November 14.
