LUMBY, B.C. — An RCMP investigation into the alleged abduction of a woman from Lumby, B.C., has turned into a probe of a suspicious death. 

Mounties say in a statement that officers with the North Okanagan detachment found the woman’s body in a rural area on Sunday, and a man believed to have been involved was arrested in the vicinity. 

The man has been released from custody with a series of conditions he must follow. 

Police had asked for the public’s help in finding the 44-year-old woman on Saturday, saying she was last seen speaking with her ex-husband when she unexpectedly left with him in a vehicle.
