KAMLOOPS — A Lillooet area woman reported missing earlier this month has been found dead.

The RCMP say the body was recovered by a search party organized by her family and the community Friday on the shore of the Fraser River approximately 21 kilometres south of Lillooet on a remote section of the beach.

Mounties say foul play does not appear to have been involved in the woman’s death and the investigation into the tragedy continues.

Though the RCMP haven’t released the woman’s name, 26-year-old Lacey Tom was reported missing to the RCMP on Nov. 5 after she was last seen just before midnight on Nov. 3 in the Lillooet area.
