The body of a missing British Columbia woman has been found two months after she disappeared.
A statement from New Westminster police says the body believed to be that of Nirla Sharma was discovered Sunday along the Fraser River between New Westminster and Burnaby.
The woman's disappearance from her New Westminster home sparked a major search in late February.
Sgt. Jeff Scott says there is no indication of foul play but the cause of death has not yet been determined.
The 44 year old was last seen Feb. 23 when she went to bed but it's believed she left her home the next day because a family member heard the front door chime at about 4 a.m.
At the time, police said Sharma was likely wearing pink pyjamas, a black jacket and orange Nike shoes, but uncharacteristically she had not taken her phone or other personal items.
