Helicopter wreckage was found by the Karratha-based Police PC12 that was tasked by Aussar to search for it.

After locating the helicopter the PC12 remained in the area and guided in Rescue 461 and another R22 helicopter to confirm the worst.

Good job by the crew for locating the R22 in difficult terrain.

Condolences to the family.
