Police believe a body found in marshland off the Lancashire coast is that of 29-year-old Eren Wright, who went missing on 27 October.

A body has been found in marshland off the Lancashire coast in the search for missing woman Eren Wright. Police search teams located the body at around 3.30pm on Thursday, 12 November, in marshland between Lytham and Warton. Lancashire Police believe the body to be that of Wright, 29, although formal identification has not yet taken place.

Wright was last seen at approximately 10am on Tuesday, 27 October, when she left her home on St David's Road South in Lytham St Annes. She was reported missing by her partner, Silas O'Carroll Pond, on Wednesday, 28 October. During the search, police conducted extensive inquiries within and outside the county, focusing on areas including Southport, Wigan, Lytham, St Annes, Fairhaven and Blackpool. Police released CCTV images as part of their efforts to locate her.

According to LancsLive, O'Carroll Pond had revealed that Wright's phone 'last pinged' in Southport at 5.30pm on the night before she was last seen. He also stated that police had checked her bank accounts and found no money in them. The BBC reports that CCTV inquiries suggest Wright travelled into Lytham town centre before taking a bus to St Annes.

Police said Wright's death is not being treated as suspicious. A file will be passed to HM Coroner in due course. Her loved ones have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.

Following the discovery, O'Carroll Pond posted on social media to thank those who assisted in the search for Wright. He said he was 'moved beyond words' by the 'outpouring of love' shown to Eren and her family. In his statement, he said: 'Eren was and is the most important person to ever enter my life and her memory will be carried on with love and devotion.' He also thanked those who had messaged him privately, explaining he did not have the capacity to reply to all messages at this time.

Lancashire Police thanked members of the public for their support throughout the search, including passing on information and assisting with CCTV inquiries.
