Body found

The body of 40-year-old Nambour man Paul Devine was found in dense lantana on Saturday.
It was found by his partner and a friend who had been searching the property near Cherry Gully where he was last seen three weeks ago.
The deceased man had been missing since Sunday, March 11.
Paul Devine left his vehicle after it became bogged about 3am on March 11 near Wildash, at a property on Old Stanthrope Road.
He was last seen near Cherry Gully about 11am on March 11, by a local landowner.
It was believed the man was a skilled bushman, however he had limited supplies, hadn’t been in contact with family or friends and was possibly disorientated.
Mr Devine’s death is not being treated as suspicious and it has been reported there were no signs of snakebite.
