Skydive Lake Wanaka Ltd director David Hall (58) died at the
weekend.
Constable Phill Hamlin said police were contacted about 2pm
on Saturday after Mr Hall, of Wanaka, failed to make a 10am
appointment in Queenstown.
An extensive land and air search was carried out and his
vehicle was found near the Crown Range Rd on the Crown
Terrace, above the stretch of road known as the "Zig Zags".
The search continued until midnight and was resumed at dawn
the following day.
About 9.20am on Sunday, a search team found Mr Hall's body
near the area in which his car was found.
There were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death
and the matter had been referred to the coroner, Const Hamlin
said.
