Lithuanian national Nomeda Pundziene, 43, was found floating face-down in a lake at the University of East Anglia a week after she went missing from the family home in Norwich. Today her husband Zydrunas Pundzys told an inquest into her death how his wife had alcohol problems and had previously gone missing for days at a time. Speaking through a translator, Mr Pundzys said: 'When she wasn't drinking she was a wonderful, super person, and she hadn't been drinking for two to four weeks before she left. When I last saw her she seemed very happy and content, and she just said she was going for a walk. When Mrs Pundziene, who had been in the UK for four years, failed to return, her husband began to worry about her. He said: 'After about seven days I felt that she would not return. 'I told my son: "I don't think you've got a mum any more."' The inquest heard that the couple's friend Ruta Zakevicene helped look for the missing woman, by trawling through missing people websites. She said: 'I did not know where she had gone so started to look for missing people on the internet. It seemed her disappearance was for too long, I would have expected her to come back sooner. When she saw a picture of what looked like Mrs Pundziene's dress on the Norfolk Police website, she contacted Mr Pundzys, who realised it was his wife's They contacted police who were later able to confirm Mrs Pundziene's identity. Mrs Pundziene's body was found floating face-down in the broad at the University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich, on 1 August. The condition of the body meant officers could not identify her for more than a week, and it was unclear how she died. They released a picture of her dress in an effort to discover who the woman was. Mrs Pundziene's body was found floating in this lake, the Broad, by the University of East Anglia Today, coroner Jacqueline Lake gave a narrative conclusion, saying Mrs Pundziene drowned in unknown circumstances but that there was nothing suspicious about her death. She said: 'We do not know what happened in the days before her death or how she came to end up in the lake.' Pathologist Ben Swift said in a statement that Mrs Pundziene would have been in the water for at least 24 hours but could have been there for longer. There was no evidence of an assault. Alcohol levels in her body were three times the legal drink drive limit. Detective Sergeant Dave Freeman said officers had examined footage from 300 CCTV cameras on the UEA campus and spoken to possible witnesses but could not establish Mrs Pundziene's last movements. 'We don't know where she'd been or who she was with from the moment she left home up until the point the entered the lake,' he added.
