A body believed to be that of arts writer Florence Waters has been found in Oxfordshire, police have said. The columnist, who wrote for the Daily Telegraph, had been missing since Monday and a search had been launched across the county.
Specialist officers were supporting her family on Thursday evening after the tragic discovery was made on land in Thame.
‘Officers have located a body in Thame this evening, which is believed to be that of missing Florence Waters,’ Thames Valley Police said. ‘The body was found on land near Oxford Road, Thame. Florence, aged 33, had been missing since Monday.
‘Florence’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers at this time.’ Police said Ms Waters’ death is not believed to be suspicious and a file will be prepared for her coroner. A profile on the Daily Telegraph’s website says the journalist contributed articles on the visual arts, film and books.
