Police say the family of a missing artist have been informed after a body was found on the tracks at a London Underground station.

The last sighting of Sarah Cunningham, 31, was on Jamestown Road, in Camden in north London, at 3am on Saturday.

On Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said she was missing and that she was wearing a black outfit at the time she was last seen.

Officers released a picture showing the outfit she was wearing.

In an update, the Met said officers were called to Chalk Farm underground station at 1.11am on Monday.

The force said: "While we await formal identification, Sarah's family have been informed of this development. They have asked that their privacy is 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."
