A post-mortem is due to take place today on a body believed to be that of the man wanted for the murder of 14-year-old Alice Gross.
It is understood that Arnis Zalkalns was found hanged on Saturday in woods at Boston Manor Park - a mile from where the schoolgirl's body was hidden.
The badly decomposed body was taken by private ambulance to a mortuary in west London, and a post-mortem examination is scheduled for this afternoon at Fulham Mortuary.
The convicted killer vanished from his flat in Ealing on September 4 - a week after Alice is thought to have been abducted and murdered while walking home along a canal towpath in Hanwell.
Alice was found dead in the River Brent on Tuesday after a five-week search.
Zalkalns, 41, was filmed cycling along the same route behind Alice on the day she vanished on 28 August.
His sister, Jolanta Daksa, told Sky News: "British police have not contacted me, or my brothers and sisters.
"Arnis' girlfriend, who is living in London, told me that they had found the remains and I told the other family members. Other details about what the police found we learned from the media.
"Now we are waiting for the results from the examination of the body and the police investigation.
"We want to know from police if it really is Arnis."
The Latvian labourer worked at a building site in Isleworth, west London, and is thought to have come to the UK in 2007.
Authorities are facing criticism for apparently holding no record of his conviction for bludgeoning and stabbing his wife Rudite to death in Latvia.
It also emerged Zalkalns was arrested in London on suspicion of indecently assaulting a 14-year-old girl in 2009, but was never charged.
A post-mortem examination on Alice was inconclusive and further tests are to be carried out to find out how she died.
Police said "significant efforts" were taken to conceal her body in the water.
Zalkalns had not accessed his bank account or used his mobile phone since 3 September, nor had he returned home to his partner and young child in Ealing. He also left behind his passport.
Scotland Yard has said that though Zalkalns had been identified as a suspect in the murder investigation, inquiries continue to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crime.
A spokesman said: "Officers are still searching for evidence, and once again appeal to the public for any information that could assist them. Anyone with any information is asked to contact us on 020 8358 0100."
