NSW Police have confirmed that a body washed ashore at Brunswick Heads in northern New South Wales on Saturday morning is indeed that of missing Irishman Niall McDonough.
Mr McDonough, 30, from Dublin, went missing from his hostel on Friday, June 12, sparking a major search operation at sea and on land.
But that search has now come to an end with the grim news that the body which was discovered has been confirmed as his by the coroner’s office.

What happened? Did he just drown or was there something more to it? This makes me extremely sad.
