The body of Katherine Anne Peacock has been identified.

Montreal police said her body was found on May 9 on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, but it took some time to positively identify her.

Peacock was reported missing on April 7, one day after she was last seen at her home in Rosemont Petite Patrie.

Her brother said she had frequently been taking walks near the river and the Lachine Canal, and had been expressing suicidal thoughts.

Police searched the water near Verdun and Nuns' Island in the days after her disappearance, without success.  

Police say the death was not related to any criminal activity.
