A man's body has been pulled from the Tāmaki River in east Auckland.
It's after searches started this week for a man reported missing near Waipuna last Friday.
A member of the public found the body just before 6pm on Wednesday.
Inspector Jim Wilson, Auckland City East Area Commander, said the man's death will be referred to the Coroner.
"Searching has been underway involving the Police Maritime Unit and the Police National Dive Squad, with assistance from the Navy," he said.
"I would like to acknowledge all of those experts involved in the search effort."
He said police thoughts were also with the the man's family for their loss.
