Emergency services are conducting a large-scale operation to search for two more people at first light this morning after the boat capsized just south of Green Island in Moreton Bay just before 5.30pm yesterday.
Queensland Police said eight people were retrieved from the water and taken to Manly Harbour with non-life-threatening injuries yesterday.
"A search and rescue operation was launched, involving the water police vessels, police divers, Volunteer Marine Rescue and Coast Guard," Queensland Police said in a statement.
"At approximately 6.15pm, officers located one person deceased in the water within the search area.
"The two other missing people have not been accounted for."
A police officer was poisoned by "contamination from diesel fuel in the water" during yesterday's operations and has been transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
About 120,000 Queenslanders are still without power after a storm smashed the state's south-east on Christmas Day.
Queensland Premier Steven Miles said it would take some time to clean up after the "unprecedented storm" took down concrete power poles.
