Human remains found near where suspected shark attack victim went missing

Police have confirmed that human remains have been found in the water near Port MacDonnell on South Australia’s lower south-east coast.

Officers are on scene at Finger Point Road, close to where 32-year-old Victorian snorkeller Duncan Craw disappeared on Thursday afternoon.

Police said they would investigate whether the remains were those of Mr Craw.

They have previously described his disappearance as a suspected shark attack.

“Forensic examination of the remains will take some time to complete,” a police spokesperson said.

Mr Craw’s family paid tribute to him last week, saying he had a “heart of gold”.

“He was a kind and cheeky brother to his sisters. He was a fun-loving, mischievous and supportive mate who had a heart of gold.

“We will never forget Duncan and we will make sure his memory lives on.”

Police found two swimming fins and a damaged wetsuit late on Thursday night.

SA Police Limestone Coast operations manager Campbell Hill said on Friday that two sharks — one large and one small — had been seen in the area on Thursday.
