Shortly after 3:00 p.m. Saturday, members of Vernon Search and Rescue were making patrols on the Shuswap River when they discovered what appears to be a body in the water.  Members of the North Okanagan Rural detachment were called to the site to assist them. The RCMP Underwater Recovery Team also known as the (Dive Team) has been called in to assist in the investigation and recovery. At the time of this release it is far too early to make an identity. When the body has been recovered from the river it will be turned over to the coroner. The RCMP will continue to assist them with this investigation.   Investigators advise it could be Monday before an identity has been made and the family has been notified.
