Guardian Me­dia has been in­formed that the body of the woman who was washed away Wednes­day's flood wa­ters, has been found in Arou­ca.

The ex­act de­tails of the dis­cov­ery are not im­me­di­ate­ly known but we're told her body was lodge in a bam­boo patch.

The in­for­ma­tion we have re­ceived is that it was found close to La Floris­sant Bridge, on the Ari­ma Old Road.

The search for Lynch has been on­go­ing for the last cou­ple of days, in­clu­ding of­fi­cials from the Arou­ca Po­lice Sta­tion, North­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force, and Fire Ser­vice, as well as mem­bers of the Com­mu­ni­ty Emer­gency Re­sponse Team (CERT), and Hunters Search and Res­cue Team (HSRT).

At around 10 am on Wednes­day, Lynch and her broth­er were try­ing to cross the riv­er but both were swept away. Her broth­er was able to pull him­self out of the riv­er but Lynch dis­ap­peared.

We will have fur­ther up­dates when we get them.
