Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a man whose body has been found at Ocean Shores.
About 10.30am yesterday, the 67-year-old man’s body was located in a dam on a property adjoining the golf course in Coonawarra Street.
It’s believed the man was pinned beneath a ride-on lawnmower, which had rolled over into the water.
Police from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command secured a crime scene, which has been examined by forensics officers.
A post mortem examination will be conducted in coming days to determine a cause of death; however, it’s not being treated as suspicious.
The man had been reported missing by family members on Monday after failing to turn up to work.
A report will be prepared for the NSW coroner.
I have spent a lot of time with Cliffy over the years, and know some members of his family quite well. He put things in perspective, his saying to me and many others was ‘never seen it better’. To me that means everyday is a great day, thanks again Cliff
