Two bodies have been found on different beaches within 24 hours on the Gold Coast.
Both Tallebudgera Creek and Palm Beach, in the Gold Coast’s south, were swarmed with police this weekend following the discovery of two bodies.
The first body, of a man aged in his 60s, was found at Echo Beach, Tallebudgera Creek, about 6.45am on Saturday.
The second was located about 5.40am on Sunday near Palm Beach Surf Lifesaving Club on Jefferson Ln.
Neither death is being treated as suspicious.
Local man Wayne had headed down to Palm Beach about 5.20am on Sunday for a Jeffo Boardriders outing.
He recalled the body being fully clothed and partially submerged in the water.
‘Two ladies were standing by the body which was lapping in the water,’ he told the Gold Coast Bulletin.
‘The paramedics arrived and tried to resuscitate the body.’
He believed eight police officers attended.
Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch were spotted at the scene about 8.30am as the body was dragged from the water.
The remains were cleared about 9am.
Queensland Police declared both areas as crime scenes and are continuing to investigate.
