A member of the public
called police this afternoon after discovering a body washed
up on Muriwai Beach, north-west of Auckland.
No formal
identification has taken place however we believe it is the
body of a 24-year-old man who went missing on Saturday while
swimming at Piha Beach.
We are currently in the process of
recovering the body.
Formal identification and a
post-mortem will be carried out
tomorrow.
