THE body of a woman has been found in the water at a Co Derry seaside resort.

The woman was found at Harbour Road in Portstewart yesterday morning. Members of the RNLI and ambulance service also attended the scene.

A police spokesman said they were not treating the sudden death as suspicious.

Sinn Féin's Caoimhe Archibald said the body find was a "tragedy for all involved".

"I express my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the woman at this very difficult time," she said.
