London (Parliament Politics Magazine) – Body found in search for missing artist Sarah Cunningham in London.
An artist who went missing in Camden over the weekend has been found dead. Sarah Cunningham, an internationally recognised 31-year-old artist, was last noticed in north London at around 3 am on Saturday and was reported missing by her relative later that day.
The Metropolitan Police stated officers had informed her family of a casualty on the tracks at a nearby Tube station. The body has not yet been formally recognised, police added, stating the death was being treated as unexpected but was not currently thought to be suspicious.
How did Sarah Cunningham go missing in Camden?
In an appeal conveyed at 5.30 pm on Saturday, which was considered nearly half a million times on social media platform X, Anthony Cunningham expressed his sister as having last been seen leaving a flat building on Jamestown Road, close to the corner of the Regent’s Canal and Camden High Street.
London’s Lisson Gallery, where Ms Cunningham has glimpsed her work displayed, had also posted on Instagram to advise anyone with information to contact the Metropolitan Police. A description of Ms Cunningham stated she was 5 feet and 3 inches tall and had been sporting a black top, black skirt and Converse trainers. There had been reports of Ms Cunningham being seen getting into a dark Vauxhall car, but police are said to have later concluded this was not her.
What statements have the police made regarding the investigation?
In a fresh statement, Scotland Yard expressed the emergency services had been called to reports of a death on the tracks at Chalk Farm Underground station shortly after 1 am on Monday.
“While we await formal identification, Sarah’s family have been notified of this development,” the statement stated. “They have asked that their privacy be respected at this very difficult time. Officers from the Met are working with colleagues in the British Transport Police to look into the circumstances. The death is being treated as unexpected but at this time it is not thought to be suspicious.”
