Police divers recover body of missing 8-year-old boy

The search for a missing 8-year-old boy has come to a tragic end, with his body being recovered by Police divers at Fernhook Falls in the state’s south-west
Police and SES volunteers had been searching the area for six days after the boy went missing following a boating accident during a family camping trip near Walpole.
Divers located his body on Friday, but were not able to recover it until Sunday in what police described as a “complex operation”.
His family thanked emergency services and volunteers who were involved.
A report will now be prepared for the coroner.
