Conshocken, Pa.- Conshohocken was the last place “The Sexy Canadian” porn model is reported to have been seen alive.

And after weeks of searching for the busty blonde, authorities believe a passer-by found the body of Natel King at about 4 p.m. yesterday.

The body was partially clothed, at the bottom of a 30-foot, densely wooded hill off of River Road, in Whitemarsh Township.

The only visible wound was a large gash in her hand, Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. said last night. Police said they are treating the case as a homicide. Wet blankets and towels surrounded the partailly decomposed body.

“She was face down,” Castor said. ” Her face was against a rock.” Castor said the coroner’s office was trying to determine how the woman was killed.

Last night, a police official said photos were used to match the body to the missing model. Officials had notified King’s father, Castor said.

King, 23, known as Taylor Sumers, “the Sexy Canadian,” was last heard from Feb. 29, when she called Curtis Shears, her roommate in Mississauga, Ontario, and told him she was concerned about how the erotic photo shoot she’d been hired for was going.

Shears said he told her to leave and call him right back. He never heard from her and four days later, he reported King missing to Canadian police. They contacted police in Conshohocken.

A source said the last reported sighting of King was on Feb. 29, as she was leaving a house on 3rd Street, in Conshohocken, where the shoot was held, to go to the nearby Great American Pub. Days later, police found her car, a 1992 red Saturn Coupe, parked near the site of the photo shoot.

Police believe the photographer was the last person to see King alive. He is not a suspect, Castor said, and has been cooperative. As investigators spent hours last night combing through the scene, friends of King were slowly learning the news.

After weeks of praying for King’s safe return, Brandon D. Steele, a photographer for Steele Shot Pictures, in Canada, said he went numb at the news.

“She had a fantastic future ahead of her,” Steele said, recalling the last time he photographed King late last year in Detroit.

King was working in adult entertainment to pay for college, Shears said in a recent interview. She traveled extensively to jobs – leaving Canada for Los Angeles and Detroit for work.

King had appeared in the magazine Cleavage and on adult Web sites.
