Body in creek fourth grim discovery on glitter strip
A body found in a Currumbin creek marks the fourth grim discovery in a week on the Gold Coast.
A woman’s body has been found in a creek at a popular tourist destination, the fourth such grim discovery in the area’s waters in less than a week.
Emergency services found the woman’s body in the water when they were called to Currumbin Creek at Currumbin Waters on the Gold Coast on Wednesday afternoon.
Police said investigations were ongoing and no further details were yet available.
It is the fourth body found on the Gold Coast in the last week after police found a woman in her 70s on Palm Beach on Sunday.
Her body was found 24 hours after a man was found dead on the rocks at Echo Beach in Tallebudgera on Saturday morning.
Police believe he may have suffered a medical episode by the water’s edge.
A 31-year-old man was also found dead in a Varsity Lakes unit complex pool on Sunday morning.
These deaths are all unrelated and police are not treating them as as suspicious.
Superintendent Brett Jackson said it was a traumatic weekend for passersby on the popular beaches to see the bodies.
“It was a sombre weekend for many,” he said on Monday.
