No formal identification has been made but the police have confirmed the body is of a 71-year-old man who was reported missing by family on January 6. He had not been seen since and the death is not being treated as suspicious.

“Police will investigate the man’s death and prepare a report for the information of the Coroner,” a statement issued by a NSW Police spokesperson said, “The man’s family would ask the public and media respect their privacy at this difficult time.”
