00:00At about 10 o'clock this morning, police started receiving reports of conservative welfare
00:04for an unresponsive male who was at the Tullawal Creek Rest Area just off the Pacific Highway
00:08to Possumbrush.
00:09That's about 15 kilometres south of Taree.
00:11The male was unresponsive and in attending, police performed CPR on the male which was
00:15then continued by the attending paramedics.
00:18Unfortunately, all such efforts were to no avail and the male pronounced deceased.
00:22That's what police are really seeking some information about.
00:25We're very interested to talk to anyone who was at the Tullawal Creek Rest Area, either
00:28yesterday being Wednesday the 5th of February, or today, particularly anyone who may have
00:33noticed the man.
00:34He had a dark coloured Hyundai Staria van, some of the people there may have noticed
00:38him.
00:39Otherwise, police are very interested to speak to anyone with dash cam footage that may have
00:42been installed with their vehicle.
00:44Even without knowing that they have footage that may be of interest to us, anyone who
00:48is there, if they could come forward and make that footage known to us, we can review it
00:51and see if it's a deceased.
00:52It's preliminary investigations underway, it's early days.
00:55The crime scene has been established, there's been a report prepared for the coroner.
01:00Police will continue those crime scene examinations there.
01:03Another priority is to identify a next of kin, a suitable next of kin for the deceased
01:08person and provide them with the sad news.
01:10They're the two main priorities at this stage.
