A BODY has been discovered in a canal near Burn, Selby, today.
The grim discovery was reported to police at 12.45pm and officers and scenes of crime investigators were sent to the scene, close to Burn Bridge.
A North Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: "Investigations are continuing. At this early stage we are unable to confirm if the body is male or female."
Police have been searching the River Ouse this week without success looking for any sign of Lisette Dugmore, the York woman missing since July last year.
