Search for man missing off Gold Coast Police have located a man who reportedly fell from a boat into waters off the Gold Coast Seaway on Friday afternoon. A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said a search helicopter was deployed about two nautical miles from the coast. However, shortly after 3pm, a statement was issued saying he was found safe and well. Police were unable to confirm the age of the man, although Nine News reported that the man was a 55-year-old.
