"[Hospital] staffsaid, 'well, she's an adult, she can do what she wants,'" Darseen Pryor, Taylor's mother, told CBC News earlier this week. "So she left on foot and I followed in the vehicle until she scaled the fence on Pembina Highway into the [University of Manitoba]."

Taylor disappearedinto the trees and field of the former Southwood golf course, her mother said.

The family organized a search for the 21-year-old which continued through Friday and into Saturday morning. They say shehadbeen struggling with depression and anxiety.

Late Saturday morning,a heavy police presence was seen in an area just off Pembina Highway,between Markham Road and Southpark Drive, but police have not confirmed whether that was connected with the discovery of Taylor's body.

Police confirmed ina news release Saturday afternoon that Taylor's body had been found. They said they do not suspect foul play in her death, but did not release any other details.
