Police will make one last sweep of the Rapahoe beach area tomorrow morning for anything that will help them identify the badly decomposed body that was found washed up on rocks at Rapahoe on Wednesday night.
A man walking along the beach came across a human foot, and police then found the rest of the body near the Rapahoe end of the Point Elizabeth Track.
Police area commander Inspector John Canning said a further search was scheduled for last night, but had to be called off after police were called to another search on the King Domain Track.
Mr Canning said the remains that were found on Wednesday were taken to Christchurch yesterday for a post-mortem examination.
"We have found 99 per cent of the body," he said.
