Police investigating the death of a man in Taupo are seeking information about a black backpack belonging to the man.
The appeal relates to the death of 45-year-old Oscar Olsen in Taupo who was found dead in the Waikato River downstream of Huka Falls on Tuesday.
There was still nothing
to indicate that Mr Olsen's death is suspicious, but police are continuing investigations to assist the Coroner, and the backpack he was known to carry with him has not been recovered.
It was described as being about 30 litres in size, possibly with red and white straps. It likely contained a number of baseball caps and rugby league shirts.
It was still unknown how Mr Olsen reached Taupo. His last known location was in Gisborne on Friday, May 22 so police are still keen to hear from anyone who can shed some light on his movements between May 22 and June 2 and anyone who knows the location of his back-pack.
