Published: | Updated:
A body has been found in marshland during the search for a missing bride-to-be who vanished two weeks ago.
The body is yet to be formally identified, but officers believe it to be 29-year-old Eren Wright.
Fylde Police said the discovery was made at around 3.30pm on Thursday in marshland off the coast between Lytham and Warton, Lancashire.
The death is not being treated as suspicious, the force added in a statement.
Ms Wright, 29, was engaged and soon to be married when she went missing from her home in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, on Tuesday, October 27.
Earlier that morning, she was spotted at around 10.34am on Clifton Drive South at the junction with St Anne's Road West.
CCTV then suggested she travelled to Fairhaven Lake area, and could have been there from around 5.30pm.
Footage of her last known movements showed Ms Wright walking by a road dressed in a light olive-green hoodie with a painting on the front, beige or cream wide-leg trousers, and white trainers.

She was seen talking into her phone and carrying a black handbag, and what appeared to be a black shopping bag, in Lytham and later in St Annes and in a shop on Park Road at around 4.30pm on that same day.
Officers had conducted CCTV enquiries and believed that Ms Wright – who is 5ft 7 inches, slim build with blonde hair and tattoos of vines and a tree on her hands and arms – had then travelled into Lytham town centre before getting on a bus to St Annes, where she was caught on CCTV.
Ms Wright's fiancé, Silas O'Carroll Pond, reported her missing from her home on St David's Road South in Lytham St Annes on October 27.
He told the press earlier this week that his fiancée's phone had last pinged at around 5.30pm in the Birkdale area of Southport, in Merseyside.
He urged the public to come forward with any information on Ms Wright, saying: 'I have contacted the police and they are searching. Has anybody seen her today in Blackpool or have any information as to her whereabouts?
'She was wearing a light olive green hoodie and cream wide-legged pants. Please help, myself and the pets are freaking out not knowing where she is and if she is okay.
'The police have checked her bank accounts and she has no money in the account, she has also not turned her phone on since the 27th at around 5.30pm in Birkdale, Southport.'
In a statement released today, a police spokesperson said: 'Many of you will have heard about missing Eren Wright, and our enquiries to locate her.
'At around 3:30pm yesterday police search teams located a body in marshland off the coast between Lytham and Warton.
'Whilst formal identification has not yet taken place, we do believe it to be Eren.
'Her loved ones have been informed and are being supported. Our thoughts are with them at this devastating time.
'Eren's death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be passed in due course to HM Coroner.'
They added: 'We ask that you respect that Eren's loved ones have just been given some of the worst news imaginable so please refrain from speculating online or otherwise.'
