Police have released the name of the man found dead near Queenstown a week ago.
He was 28-year-old Czech national Zdenek Smerda.
Smerda's body was found in a camper van at Wilson Bay, about 10km west of Queenstown, last Monday.
He was reported as missing late last month after failing to
return to work.
A blessing was held today for Smerda, an orchard labourer who had been working in Cromwell.
