THE last known movements of a missing artist have been revealed as her body was found hours after a ‘woman in a black Vauxhall’ was spotted.
Cops confirmed Sarah Cunningham’s body was discovered at Chalk Farm Underground Station, near Camden Town, London, at 12.11am this morning.
The 31-year-old disappeared on Jamestown Road in Camden, north London, on November 2 at around 3am.
She was last seen leaving a block of flats wearing a black outfit.
Emergency services were called out to reports of a casualty at the London underground station in the early hours of this morning.
The Metropolitan Police said her death is being treated as “unexpected” but is “not thought to be suspicious.”
There were reports a woman, matching Sarah’s description, had last been spotted with a man.
Jamie Klingler, co-founder of the Reclaim These Streets group said: “She was last seen in Camden around 3am getting into a dark Vauxhall with a male with long dark hair and heading to Islington.
“Were you the driver? Did you see them? Did you see them get out of the vehicle in Islington?”
But, the Met Police confirmed they do not believe this woman was Sarah.
The “dark vauxhall” and “male with long dark hair” are not thought to be connected with the artist’s death.
