A missing 32-year-old mother from New Westminster has been found deceased, according to a post on a Facebook page set up to help find her.
On the ‘Find Missing Mother Florence Leung’ Facebook page, a statement released Wednesday night reads:
It is with great sadness to tell everyone that Florence Leung has been found. Police notified husband Kim Chen and family earlier today of the discovery. We ask that everyone at the moment respect the family’s privacy and we will release more details as they become available. We thank you all for your prayers, love and support at this very difficult time. #PrayForFlo
Florence was last seen on the morning of Tuesday, October 25th when she left her New West home. A surveillance video discovered a few days later showed Florence buy several items from a convenience store in Vancouver’s West End.
Her vehicle was discovered in Stanley Park the day after she went missing, but North Shore Rescue later suspended its search after thoroughly combing through the surrounding areas, including parts of West Vancouver.
Leung, the mother of a two-month-old boy, was thought to have been suffering from post-partum depression.
Her husband Kim Chen had said he and Florence were very happy as they awaited the birth of their first child.
“We were married for two years. We always wanted to have children and build a family. And everything was perfect, everything was bliss,” he said.
Police have yet to confirm her death.
