Rotorua Police are asking for help identifying a man whose body was fished out of the Kaituna River.

Kayakers found him yesterday, downstream from the Okere Falls bridge on State Highway 33.

The man is described as short, possibly Caucasian and of a medium build.

He was wearing a checked long-sleeve shirt with a Woodstock emblem on the left shoulder, long dark pants and blue running shoes.

Police think he may have been in the water for some time.

They'd like to hear from anyone who thinks they know who he is.
