Police are investigating the discovery of a female body in a Cornish bay about 100 miles (160km) away from where a teenager was swept into a river. | |
The body was found at Booby's Bay, near Padstow, on Saturday. It was removed and is still to be identified. | |
Police said they were not treating the death as suspicious. Officers said that the family of Frankie Chapell, who went missing in flooding, had been informed. | |
The 17-year-old was in a car washed into a river near Zennor last week. | |
Flash flooding | |
Miss Chapell was one of four people travelling in the Volvo S70 which was swept away when part of a track, near the B3306, collapsed on Saturday 25 April after flash flooding near St Ives. | |
Her 26-year-old brother, Ryan Martel, and another man in the car, Luke Mackin, 20, were killed in the incident. | |
A 20-year-old unnamed man who had also been in the car managed to get out and raise the alarm. | |
Ms Chapell, a hairdressing student at Truro College, and Mr Martel, a third-year broadcasting student at University College, Falmouth, were originally from Guernsey. |
