Catherine "Kate" Kelly, sister of bushranger Ned Kelly, apparently drowned.

She was only 35.

Kate went missing on 6 October 1898. It was over a week before her body was found in a shallow lake at Condobolin Road near Forbes. It was presumed that she drowned but the Magisterial inquiry that was held into her death on 15 October did not indicate how or why the drowning occurred. Kate's death certificate stated that there was no evidence. There was some suggestion that, following the death of her sister Maggie two years earlier, Kate had become very depressed, and this may have contributed to the apparent drowning.
