By News Staff

An 88-year-old Newmarket woman reported missing on Saturday has been found dead.

York Region police say Yogaswary Yohalingam left her home in the Leslie Street and St. John’s Sideroad area for a walk around 6 a.m. on Saturday morning and never returned home.

A ground search in the area of the residence failed to turn up any evidence of the woman and police set up a command post in the area of Memorial Circle and Veterans Way to assist in the search for the elderly woman.

Just after 1:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon, police said the missing woman’s body was found in the area.

No cause of death was released but police say they do not consider her death to be suspicious.
