A BODY believed to be that of a missing junior doctor from Devon has been found.
Devon and Cornwall Police say that on April 1, a female body was recovered from the sea, east of Portland Headland in Dorset.
They say they are currently working on the belief that the body is that of 25-year-old Rose Polge from Torquay.
Rose was last seen on February 12 and police and coastguard were searching for her after her car was discovered in a car park near Ansteys Cove.
Friends of Dr Polge joined the search for her as it emerged that she left a note to loved ones before she disappeared.
Devon and Cornwall Police are working with Dorset Police and the Coroner’s Office on this matter, and await the results of the formal identification.
The family of Ms Polge are aware of this latest development.
