A New Maryland woman who was reported missing last week was found dead Sunday morning in the flood waters next to Grand Lake in Jemseg.

Barbara Ann Lomax, 53, had been missing since early Wednesday afternoon.

RCMP spokesman Sgt. Derek Strong said someone saw her car parked near the lake Saturday evening and notified police.

The RCMP and a ground search and rescue team started to search the area Saturday.

At dusk, they put the search on hold until morning.

Lomax was found Sunday at 10 a.m.

Strong said there is no suspected foul play, but there will be an autopsy this week to determine the cause of death.

He said the RCMP is still investigating.
