The body of a foreign 22-year-old male was recovered from the surf at Mt Maunganui this morning.
Police believe the man entered the water in the early hours of this morning and said it appeared he had drowned but this could not be confirmed until a post mortem was completed.
He was found floating in the surf opposite Rabbit Island by a person walking their dog about 6.20am.
Tauranga police Senior Sergeant Glenn Saunders said inquiries were being made, including speaking to people who knew the man and making inquiries into possible sightings last night.
