The Kaieteur National Park (KNP) has been re-opened as of today as the body suspected to be of the woman, who had gone missing, was retrieved and transported by plane to Georgetown, today, for a post-mortem examination to be conducted later in the week.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency today said that the body, which was first spotted by a KNP Ranger late Saturday afternoon, was found in a rocky area at the base of the Falls, which had previously been submerged by high water levels.
Late in the afternoon of Tuesday September 1, it was discovered that a tourist, who has arrived at the KNP on an Air Services Limited flight, was missing after she left her group on the way back from touring the Falls.
