Jade Damarell, 32, did not deploy her main parachute or the reserve and switched off an automatic activation device before she crashed on to farmland near the airfield at Shotton Colliery, County Durham, on April 27.

The marketing manager left instructions on the lock screen of her phone on how to access the handset and left notes and details of her finances in its Notes folder, the inquest at Crook Civic Centre, Co Durham, was told.
