A body has been discovered in the Timaru River, near Lake Hāwea.

A police spokesman said the body of a young woman was found with what appeared to be head injuries, on Wednesday.

The body was found on the Te Araroa trail, which runs alongside the river for a period.

"The death is not considered to be suspicious and has been referred to the coroner," he said.
