Snowy Mountains missing fishermen: second boy found at Eucumbene Dam

  • Second body found on Sunday
  • Two fishermen were missing

A second body has been located after two fishermen were reported missing in the Snowy Mountains earlier this week.

NSW Police were called to Lake Eucumbene, northwest of Cooma, about 11.15pm on Wednesday after reports two men were missing.

The men, both aged 73, had gone fishing near Adaminaby but when they failed to return home that evening, their concerned families raised the alarm.

The search continues for a second fisherman still missing in Lake Eucambene.

Police, Marine Rescue, the State Emergency Service and the Westpac helicopter began a search of the waterway and nearby bushland.

Hours later they found the body of a man.

On Sunday morning, authorities confirmed they had found the body of a second man at the Eucumbene Dam.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
