The body of Jason Gale, older brother of Megan Gale, has been found in bushland south-east of Perth, concluding a week-long search for the missing 49-year-old.
WA Police discovered the body following a large-scale search in Karragullen yesterday afternoon.
A member of the public had discovered Gale’s Honda in the area earlier that day, alerting police.
“A search of the area was commenced and the body of a deceased person, believed to be Mr Gale, was located,” WA Police released in a statement, as reported by 10 News First Perth.
Jason had been reported missing from his Bibra Lake home last Friday afternoon. Police had taken to Facebook that night, in a since-deleted post, urging anyone to come forward with information regarding his whereabouts.
He’d last been seen on Tuesday last week buying petrol in Pingelly, south-east of Perth.
The death isn’t being treated as suspicious.
More to come.
