Kelowna RCMP have identified the person found dead in Okanagan Lake on Sunday as a woman from Surrey.

Investigators were called to Gyro Beach just before 2:30 p.m. on Sunday where they found 29-year-old Caitlin Midori Bradley floating face down in the lake, according to the RCMP.

“She [was] a loving mother and a light-hearted practical joker and the best friend anyone could ask for,” Bradley’s friend Condesa Strain told Global News.

Police and the BC Coroners Service are now trying to develop a timeline of Bradley’s actions before her death.
