Officers confirmed the death of the man, who had been reported missing since the afternoon of July 24.

Police, along with the Fire Services Department, the Government Flying Service, and the Civil Aid Service, conducted a joint search and rescue operation over several days before locating the body.
A police spokeswoman stated that the man was considered lost, and the cause of death will be confirmed following the autopsy.
