Photo / NZMEAuthorities searching for a jetskier who had been missing since yesterday have found a body near the southern end of Waiheke Island, police acknowledged this afternoon. "While formal identification is yet to take place, police believe the body is likely to be that of the man who failed to return from a fishing trip on his jet ski yesterday," Inspector Jason Homan said. The body was discovered this morning near Shag Island. The man left on a fishing trip yesterday from the Kawakawa Bay boat ramp on the Auckland region's east coast. The Police Maritime Section, Police Eagle helicopter and a Coastguard fixed-wing plane all joined in the search this morning.
