Man, 76, believed dead after body found in Alpine region search

Police in Victoria are confident that a body discovered in the Alpine region belongs to a 76-year-old man from Warrnambool named Geoffrey, who went missing on Wednesday evening. Geoffrey last saw the light of day on Church Road and was reportedly investigating historical landmarks in the area. He was roughly an hour's drive away from Cowwarr, an area currently hosting a search for a missing 17-year-old boy. Following the discovery of the deceased male in Walhalla this morning, a report will be prepared for the coroner.

The police have not confirmed the identity of the body, but based on evidence, they believe it to be that of the missing 76-year-old. The death has been ruled out as suspicious, and family members were reportedly anxious about Geoffrey's disappearance due to a pre-existing medical condition, making it uncharacteristic.
