Police have named the person whose body was found in Lake Tekapo last week.
Christchurch man Baldeep Singh, 34, died after he reportedly came off the town’s main bridge and failed to resurface on June 11.
An extensive search operation was launched involving police, Coastguard Mackenzie Lakes volunteers, Fire and Emergency New Zealand, a helicopter crew and the Police Dive Squad.
The Police Dive Squad recovered his body about 2pm the next day.
“Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this difficult time,” a police spokesperson said.
Police said inquiries were continuing on behalf of the coroner.
The death is separate to an incident earlier this week in which a man’s body was found in shallow water on Lake Tekapo’s western shore.
