Queensland Police will prepare a report for the coroner after human remains were located within one of two crocodiles euthanised by Department of Environment and Science (DES) wildlife officers.
Police believe the remains are those of the missing 65-year-old Laura man, pending the formal identification process.
Officers believe the two crocodiles (4.1m and 2.8m) were involved in an incident with the 65-year-old and were located upstream from where he was last seen.
Search and rescue operations in Lakefield have been discontinued at this time. Police will now prepare a report for the corner.
