Body of pastor missing in NSW floodwaters found days after his disappearance
The body of a 53-year-old pastor, who was missing in floodwaters in northern New South Wales, has been found two days after he disappeared.
The man had officiated at a wedding rehearsal at Selah Valley Estate in Limpinwood on Saturday and was leaving in his ute when he crossed a swollen river about 9.30pm.
His car was swept away, just metres away from the bridal party who watched on.Emergency services found his ute about 400 metres downstream but could not find the pastor.
After days of extensive searching, rescue teams found his body about 1pm today.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner. NSW Police Inspector Matt Woods yesterday said the conditions had been extreme following torrential rain in the region.
