Tali Lennox shares heartbreak on Instagram after body is discovered
Some tragic news this morning as police searching for missing man Ian Jones have recovered a body near to where he was last seen.
Tali Lennox, daughter of music legend Annie Lennox, was kayaking with her boyfriend Ian on New York's Hudson River on Saturday when the pair got into difficulty. Neither was wearing lifejackets when they entered the water, but while Tali was luckily picked up by a passing boat, Ian has not been seen since.
While an official confirmation has yet to be made, police believe the body recovered is indeed that of 32-year-old Ian.
Rescue crews have suspended their search since the discovery was made near the Poughkeepsie Yacht Club yesterday afternoon. According to NBC News, the body found "matches the description" of Ian.
22-year-old Tali took to Instagram late last night to express her heartbreak, posting a black-and-white image of herself and Ian with the message, "My heart is shattered. My best friend, my soul mate, my partner in crime & creativity, the LOVE & LIGHT of my life is no longer with me. All the love that has been sent to me is giving me the strength to get through this. I know that he is so so happy that I was safely rescued. Let us honor & celebrate this beautiful soul & keep following the light."
While the cause of the accident is unknown, Dutchess County Sheriff’s Captain John Watterson said over the weekend he believed that both “the river's strong current and alcohol may have played a role”.
Ian was a professional model for IMG and had worked for Levi's, Detail magazine and Wallpaper magazine among others.
Our thoughts are with Tali, Annie and Ian's family at this difficult time.
