The body of a 57-year-old man has been recovered by the Search and Rescue Section today at Edith Falls.

The man had not been seen since entering a plunge pool at Edith Falls at around 3pm on Tuesday 8 July.

Police located and recovered the man’s body a short time ago near one of the waterfalls.

At this stage, police do not believe the death to be suspicious and was the result of a medical incident.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

The Northern Territory Police Force would like to pass on our condolences to the family and thank the members of the public, Parks and Wildlife, NT Life Saving, Department of Climate Change, Energy and the Environment and Water for their support.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

The upper and lower pools of Edith Falls and the walking track to the upper pool are expected to remain closed for the rest of the day.
