Search for body to continue

The search for a body spotted off Lawyers Head at Dunedin early yesterday will continue this morning.

Crew on board a helicopter, sent up by police acting on information from the public, spotted what is believed to be the body of a female at 4.55am, but the weather was too bad to start a retrieval operation until daylight.

However, searches of the shoreline and water in the area failed to locate the body.

Senior Sergeant Steve Aitken said while the death was not considered suspicious, police were still investigating the circumstances.
