A young man’s death at a beach in Adelaide’s southern suburbs remains a mystery after his body was discovered by two children floating close to a frequently used boat ramp.

The circumstances surrounding the death of the 29-year-old man at O’Sullivan Beach are under investigation. 

The man’s body was discovered floating near the boat ramp today by two boys during their school holidays.

Emergency services cordoned off the area shortly after 10:30am, with the SES putting up screens while the man’s body was recovered from the water. 

Paramedics were unable to revive the man, who has since been identified as a resident of Christie Downs.

“I was planning to go fishing with my friend, and halfway there, we came across a body with a skateboard tied to its legs, and it seemed entangled in a fishing net,” one of the boys recounted.

“And then we saw his pants and a shirt… and then we called our parents,” the other boy added.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
