A young British tourist who was reported missing on the Gold Coast has died.
Lewis Jack, 22, was last seen on Saturday night in Surfers Paradise, with Queensland Police on Tuesday asking the public for help to find him.
On Wednesday morning, police issued an update confirming Mr Jack had tragically died.
He was found by water police about 7.40pm on Tuesday night.
The death is not being treated as suspicious, and detectives believe he fell into the water near the Isle of Capri while affected by alcohol and drowned.
Family and friends of Mr Jack, who was born in Glasgow, took to social media to express their shock, including his grandmother Margaret Mooney.
‘It is with a broken heart that i have to say my beautiful grandson has sadly been found. Thank you for all the lovely words and the shares,’ she said.
I can’t believe that am actually posting this. Lewis can’t believe your gone, the worst news, you’ll never be forgotten,’ friend Gemma Robertson wrote.
