KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP spent Saturday combing the waters of the Thompson River after receiving a report of a body near Rabbit Island.

Some paddlers in the area called the police after reportedly discovering the body near the north end of the island around 9:50 am but lost sight of it after paddling to shore.

In a news release, Staff Sergeant Michel Grondin says RCMP searched the area by boat and by plane, but the reported body was not found.

Police suspended their search Saturday afternoon, but plan to re-initiate once they are able to.
