Inspector Simon Walker, Waitematā Police:
Police can confirm a body has been recovered from the Mahurangi River near Warkworth.
The body was located earlier this evening during ongoing search efforts. While formal identification is still underway, Police believe the body is that of the 47yearold Kiribati man who was reported missing after being washed away during severe weather on Wednesday.
Police extend their sincere condolences to the man’s whānau at this very difficult time. Family members have been informed and are being supported by Police.
Police would like to acknowledge and thank the many people and teams involved in the search over recent days, including Land Search and Rescue, Fire and Emergency NewZealand, other supporting agencies, and the many community members who assisted in challenging conditions.
The man’s death is not being treated as suspicious, and will be referred to the Coroner.
