KAMLOOPS – Police will resume their search tomorrow for a body spotted in the Thompson River.

Staff Sgt. Michel Grondin of Kamloops RCMP says just before 10 a.m. canoeists found a body but had to leave it to call police but they lost sight of it. 

Grondin says in a release police searched by boat and plane but could not find it. 

"Police have now suspended their search with plans to re-initiate an air search once the river conditions have improve," he said. 

We will have more information as it becomes available.
