RCMP have identified the body discovered in a marsh off Main Street in Moncton on Sunday afternoon.
The body has been identified as a woman in her fifties from Moncton. Police believe the body had been in that location for a few months. The autopsy revealed no physical injuries on the woman and foul play is not suspected. Further testing will take place to determine the cause of death but that may take several months.
The woman had not been reported missing. Tri-County Ground Search and Rescue assisted the RCMP yesterday in searching the area where she had been found. The searchers did not discover any other evidence.
The name of the woman is not being released at this time as her family has not yet been notified.
