Man's body found off Yorke Peninsula while rescuers pause search for missing canoer at Milang - ABC News

A man's body has been found in waters off South Australia's Yorke Peninsula.

Just after 11:00am on Saturday, emergency crews were called to Brown's Beach, in Innes National Park, after a man fell from rocks into the sea.

Police, PolAir, sea rescue, ambulance officers, Country Fire Service volunteers, national park rangers and recreational fishermen joined forces to search the area.

The man, aged in his 30s, was found unresponsive in the water just before 1:00pm.

He could not be revived and died at the scene.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

Lake Alexandrina search to continue on Sunday

Meanwhile, SA Police said the second day of a search for a missing man at Milang has been called off, but will resume "mid-morning" on Sunday.

The alarm was raised around 11:30am on Friday, after two men who set off on an inflatable canoe at Lake Alexandrina, just north of Milang, failed to return.

SA Police's Water Operations Unit coordinated a search and rescue effort involving the police helicopter, sea rescue and local officers.

One of the men, a 19-year-old from Elizabeth Vale, was "miraculously" found floating in the water around 2:45pm.

He was treated by SA Ambulance crews for hypothermia at the scene.

The canoe was also located.

The search for a second man, a 31-year-old from Brahma Lodge, continues, but police said there are "grave concerns for his welfare".
