She was taken to hospital following the incident but later died.

North Wales Police said it was liaising with the Marine Accident Investigation Branch and appealed for witnesses.

He said the coroner for north west Wales Dewi Pritchard Jones had been informed.

"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mrs Walker at this time," he said.

A statement from the force said: "Jane's family are deeply shocked and devastated by the sudden passing of their much-loved family member.

"They request that they can be given some privacy at this extremely difficult time so they can grieve and come to terms with what has happened."
