Body of tourist found in WA river THE body of a Taiwanese man who drowned in the Murchison River in Western Australia has been found after an extensive search by police. The 39-year-old tourist was swimming in the river, near Kalbarri, 600km north of Perth, on Friday with his 37-year-old girlfriend when she started struggling and sought assistance from a nearby kayaker, a police spokeswoman told AAP. The kayaker helped the woman from the water, but as he was doing so the man disappeared. Police began searching the area, but were unable to locate him. The search resumed on Saturday morning and his body was found about 7.15am (WST). A report is being prepared for the coroner.
