Police will prepare a report for the information of the Coroner after the body of a motorcyclist was found at Nabiac yesterday.
Officers attached to Manning-Great Lakes Police District were called to the Pacific Highway about 11am (Saturday 9 November 2024), when a passing cyclist noticed the body of a man lying in scrub 3m-4m from the road.
The cyclist alerted police who arrived and established the body was that of a man; a damaged motorcycle was found several metres further on.
A post-mortem examination will be conducted in coming days to establish cause of death and confirm identity; however, initial inquiries indicate the man to be aged in his 40s from the Hunter region. It’s believed the crash may have occurred 24-48 hours before the man’s body was found.
An investigation has commenced into the circumstances surrounding the man’s death, and police are appealing for anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
