The Canberra Times has the sad news that the missing Alex Beddows has been found dead in the Mississippi River.
Louisiana police believe Beddows, a Department of Climate Change employee who lived in Mawson, accidently fell into the swollen Mississippi River while walking to his hotel in the dark.
His body was found late last week, submerged in the dangerously flooded waters of the river a short distance from where Beddows was last thought to be seen.
Our condolences to his friends and family.
