Police dive teams have found the body of a missing Ohaupo pig hunter.

Kevin Hayward, 41, was last seen parking his ute at the Waipapa Dam north of Mangakino at 10am Monday.

Staff at the dam called police on Tuesday when he did not return.

The Police National Dive Squad found his body late this morning on the bed of the Waikato River, about two kilometres upstream from the Waipapa Dam.

It was adjacent to where his clothes were found last Friday.

The death was not suspicious and has been reported to the Coroner.
