‘Sri Lankan youth’ found dead at Tranmere Point in Australia

An investigation has been launched after a young man was found dead on the foreshore at Tranmere Point in Hobart, Australia this afternoon (21).

The man was found wearing black trainers with white soles, black jeans, a dark green t-shirt featuring a pink and blue rodeo emblem on the front and a black puffer jacket.
