Man 'dead for weeks' before body found at home
Police believe a man may have been dead for “a number of weeks” before they found him inside a home last week.
Officers were conducting a welfare check on Fernando Farias, 44, at a home in Cooloola Cove, in Queensland’s Gympie Region, about 2.30pm on Wednesday last week.
They discovered Mr Farias’ body inside and are now appealing for witnesses who may have seen him on or around April 24 in Brisbane.
Police said was last seen driving a black Toyota Hilux single-cab ute in the Brisbane area at that time.
The cause of Mr Farias’ death is still to be determined, and police are working to establish the surrounding circumstances.
Anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the vicinity of Atlantis Avenue in Cooloola Cove over the past month, or have any further information has been urged to come forward.
Information can be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers by calling 1800 333 000 or filling out an online form 24hrs per day.
