The body of a man has been found on the shore at Makorori,
north of Gisborne.
While formal identification is yet to
take place, he is believed to be the 33-year-old man
reported to have gotten into difficulty in the water about
1.45pm yesterday.
The man’s body was discovered about
midnight last night.
Our thoughts are with his family and
friends at this difficult time.
