A body has been found in the search for Ian Jones, the boyfriend of Annie Lennox's daughter who has been missing since a kayaking accident in the US.

The Scottish singer's daughter Tali was rescued after their vessel capsized while they were kayaking along the Hudson river in New York on Saturday.

It's believed that the couple became separated following the incident, and while Tali was rescued by a passing boat, Jones wasn't so fortunate.

A search was immediately launched and today a spokesman for Dutchess County Sheriff's Office in New York confirmed that a man's body had been recovered from the river and a formal identification is to take place.

The search for Mr Jones has now been stood down.

Police said the pair were not wearing life jackets at the time of the incident and that strong currents in the Hudson River are thought to have played a role in the kayak capsizing.
