Body found in search for hiker last seen in mountain-top selfie
A body has been found in the search for a 24-year-old woman, who shared photos to social media on top of a summit before she went missing.
Sarah Buick, from Dundee in eastern Scotland, shared pictures from Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Scotland on Tuesday.
"Good morning from Ben Nevis," she wrote on Facebook, along with the selfie.
On Wednesday, Police Scotland and Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team had commenced a search for Ms Buick.
"As time goes on we are becoming increasingly concerned for Sarah," Inspector Nick Hough said on Wednesday, according to the BBC.
"She is an experienced walker and often makes trips alone, but it is very unlike her to be out of contact with friends and family for this length of time."
On Thursday, local time, a woman's body was found in the search for Ms Buick.
