She was cold and her lips were blue.
McCullough told her he'd rang 999 and been told to perform CPR.
When asked how she took this, Miss McCullough said there was a lot to process and that she thought she was being a good friend, but she didn't actually want to hear any of it.
McCullough said that she said she'd had nightmares about this since.
And then she was asked about McCullough's rear rest, which didn't happen until January 2023.
She says she recalled seeing a news notification that there had been arrests in the investigation into Miss McNally's death.
She said she was excited as she thought that the police had finally got the person who had done it, who had killed Miss McNally.
And so she tried to call Mr McCullough, but she got no answer and thought that maybe he was just with Miss McNally's family.
She then got a call from her sister to say that detectives were at her house and it was only then that she realised that it was actually Stephen McCullough who had been arrested.
We do.
We're going to hear from some of the messages that were retrieved from Natalie's phone as well, Natalie McNally's phone.
And then I believe there are some other witnesses which have yet to be agreed.
I don't really want to go into too much detail because at this stage there are some legal arguments about who we can name and who we can't name.
And sometimes that changes on the day.
So we'll arrive on the day, the witness will take stand and then the judge might make a decision that that person can either be named or not named.
So I think that we're safer just sticking to what we do for now.
And as I said, this trial is expected to last five weeks.
It's in front of Mr.
Justice Kinney and right now some of these things when you sit through these trials you realise that they're going to take longer or they're going to take shorter but it seems to be moving at exactly the right pace so hopefully it'll all run as smoothly as it has been next week.
Alison Morris, thank you.
