A body has been found washed up at Nine Pin Rock near Whatipu Beach in Auckland, 11 days after a fisherman was swept off the rocks.

Police were notified early this morning that the body had been found. Formal identification is yet to be completed but police believe the body is that of Shi.

His next of kin have been notified and the death will be referred to the coroner.
