Body found in River Kelvin search for missing woman

Fire crews and HM Coastguard were involved in the initial search near Eldon Street on 11 October

A body has been found in the search for a 58-year-old woman who remained missing after a man was rescued from the River Kelvin in Glasgow last month.

Emergency services were called to reports of two people in the water, near Eldon Street, on 11 October.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said a man was later rescued and taken to hospital.

Police Scotland said the body of a woman was recovered from the river shortly before 12:30 on Friday.

Formal identification is still to take place, however the force said the family of a 58-year-old woman who was reported missing in the area had been informed.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "There are no apparent suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in due course."

HM Coastguard helicopters were involved in the initial search of the river while Police Scotland said a drone was used.

The SFRS said four fire engines and specialist resources also assisted in the original incident.
