Search for body spotted in water continues

Police will today continue to scour the Dunedin coast for a body spotted offshore yesterday.

A police helicopter crew saw the body near Lawyer's Head before dawn yesterday, following concerns about a person living in the area.

A search of the coast and water failed to find the body, believed to be that of a woman, but police found personal items thought to be related.

Senior Sergeant Craig Brown told NZPA a coastal search would resume this morning.

Police would also consider sending out an inflatable boat or fixed-wing aircraft.

The circumstances of the death were still being investigated, although it was not considered suspicious at this stage.
