The body of a man has been found during the search for 71-year-old Alan Crow, who was reported missing from Oran Park last week.
At about 8:40 am this morning (23 January), officers attached to Wollongong Police District were conducting patrols when they found the body of a man at a Wollongong beach near Harbour and Bank streets, Wollongong.
A NSW Police spokesperson said officers attached to Wollongong Police District established a crime scene and conducted an investigation.
“Initial inquiries suggest the man’s death is not being treated as suspicious,” the NSW Police spokesperson said.
Alan Crow was last seen at a home in Oran Park on Thursday, 16 January 2025.
When he could not be found or contacted, officers attached to Sutherland Shire Police Area Command were notified and commenced inquiries into his whereabouts.
Inquiries have revealed he was also seen on CCTV boarding a train at Waterfall Railway Station before getting off at Wollongong and attending a nearby shopping centre on Friday, 17 January 2025.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
