Man's body found floating in Sydney bay THE body of an elderly man, found floating in Watsons Bay, in Sydney's east, could be that of a German national, police say. A passerby found the man floating face down in shallow waters at Camp Cove Beach just before 9.30pm (AEDT) on Thursday, but he could not be revived and was pronounced dead by police and ambulance paramedics. A crime scene was established and examined by specialist forensics officers, but preliminary inquiries suggest there are no suspicious circumstances. The deceased is yet to be formally identified, but is believed to be a 78-year-old German national, police said. A post-mortem examination will be conducted in coming days to determine a cause of death and a report will be prepared for the NSW Coroner.
