A man’s body has been found days after he went missing in a rain-swollen dam.
The man in his 40s was reported missing on Sunday afternoon after he dived into Beardmore Dam near St George, in Queensland’s south-west, and failed to resurface.
An extensive search was launched with police, SES volunteers, swift water rescue crews and aerial teams scouring the dam.
The man’s body was found in the water within the search area before 6am on Tuesday, police said.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
After months of heavy rain across Queensland, the dam is 104.5 per cent full, according to SunWater.
