The body of a Glasgow man has been found by police after he went missing in Australia’s Gold Coast.

Lewis Jack, 22, was reported missing from Surfer’s Paradise, a seaside resort in Queensland, on Saturday.

Queensland Police confirmed that a body was found in the water near the Isle of Capri at about 07:40 on Tuesday.

The force added that investigations are ongoing into the death, which is thought to be “non-suspicious”.

A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said: “Police will prepare a report for the coroner in relation to the death of a 22-year-old man at Surfers Paradise on Tuesday.

“While conducting patrols for the missing man, officers from the Gold Coast Water Police located the man deceased in the water near the Isle of Capri around 07:40.”

The force had earlier issued a missing persons report.

Posts on social media suggest Mr Jack had been based in Australia since 2022 and had spent time travelling around south-east Asia.

On Facebook, his mother Sharon Smith said: “Lewis has been found. My heart is hurting, he is no longer with us, his brothers and I are broken.”

A Just Giving page has been set up to help with repatriating his body.

Organiser Toni-Lee Donnelly said: “Lewis was one of the kindest souls – his smile could light up any room, and his warmth and humour touched everyone he met.

“He is deeply loved and will be missed beyond words by all who knew him.”

In a statement, the Foreign Office said it was supporting the family of a British man who has died in Australia.
