The search for a 63 year old man who was reported missing last month has ended tragically after he was found dead.

Police Spokesperson Ana Naisoro confirms a missing person’s report was lodged by the family of 63-year-old Log Nadan of Velovelo, Lautoka after he went missing from his home.

Naisoro says his body was discovered by a 32 year old man near the Velovelo sea side.

She notes that a post mortem would have being initiated but due to the state of the victim’s body the cause of death could not be ascertained.
