Closure to drowning

-

A BODY found in a Tasmanian lake last month has been identified as a farmer who was swept away in fatal floods almost two years ago.

Trevor Foster, the uncle of world champion wood chopper David Foster, was checking on sheep at his Ouse property on June 6, 2016 when he was caught out by a nearby rising river.

Extensive searches failed to find any trace of the 81year-old.

On March 21, a farmer discovered a body in Meadowbank Lake, 20km from where Mr Foster was last seen.
