Sudden death in Tiaro

Police are investigating the death of a man in flood waters at Tiaro on Tuesday 11 January.

Around 5.30am, police were called to a rural property on Darcys Road following reports a man had fallen from a boat into flood waters the previous evening.

A 43-year-old woman and an 8-year-old girl, who had also been in the boat, managed to cling to foliage after it capsized and call for help.

Following an extensive response involving police and Fire and Rescue Service swift water rescue crews, the 52-year-old man was located deceased around 11.00am approximately 200 metres from where he went missing.

A report will be prepared for the Coroner.

A 17-year-old boy has died following a serious single-vehicle crash at Meridian Plains on 10 January.

The 17-year-old Aroona boy had to be freed from the car by emergency services.
