LONDON, Ky. (AP) - The body of a missing Tennessee woman has been discovered in Kentucky.

According to the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, deputies found the body of 74-year-old Lynda Ashley Gentry on Tuesday after a passer-by noticed her car down a steep embankment.

The white Buick had travelled about 30 feet down, but the car had only minor damage. Gentry was found outside the vehicle. The sheriff’s office says the coroner has attributed her death to the cold temperatures.
