A BODY has been found in Glasgow during the search for a woman who went missing last month.
Emily Hope was reported missing after leaving the Mango nightclub in Sauchiehall Street in the early hours of Saturday February 22.
CCTV appeared to show the 22-year-old at the Tradeston bridge by the River Clyde, where some of her belongings were found.
On Friday morning, a body was found in water near the SSE Hydro, around a mile from where Hope was last seen.
Although formal identification is still to take place, the missing woman's family has been informed.
A police statement said: "Police Scotland can confirm that the body of a woman was found around 9.50am in the water at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow this morning, Friday March 27.
"Formal identification has yet to take place, however, the family of Emily Hope, aged 22, who was reported missing on Saturday February 22, has been informed.
"There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
