The body of the man found in the Lower Kara Kara Creek, Linden early Friday was last evening identified as Milton George of Blue Berry Hill, Linden.
Relatives came forward and identified the man, this newspaper was told last evening. The man had not been known to residents of the area. It is suspected that he may have drowned at another location before being washed further downstream by the heavy current of the creek. Marks of violence were not apparent on the body.
The discovery was made by a family that had gone to the creek for an early morning bath. The body, which was floating face down, was clad in black pants and a brown shirt that might have been discoloured by the water.
Relatives of the man are making preparations for his burial.
