“There was no one that indicated they were with the individual at this point in time. It was reports of a passerby that witnessed someone in the water,” he said.
Because of the difficulty in accessing the body, a helicopter team with North Shore Rescue was brought in.
It’s unknown how long the body was there for, and the victim’s name has not been disclosed.
