Bloody hell, second body in a week? Something's off in Tekapo. Hope the police actually investigate properly this time.
Exactly. Police probably already know and just aren't telling us. Typical.
rip bozo, probably another tourist who can't swim 🏊♂️
stuffed mate, that's someone's family you're joking about.
unhelpful. Have some respect.
Yeah nah, I was there yesterday. Cops had the whole area taped off. Didn't look like an accident, but they're not saying much.
Prayers for the family. This is so sad. Hope they find answers soon.
Wonder if it's linked to the other one? Or just really bad luck. Either way, I'm not swimming there this summer.
Two bodies in a week, but nah, nothing to see here. Classic NZ police keeping us in the dark as usual.
been there heaps but this is sketchy. Avoid the lake for a bit.
My mate's cousin works at the station, said it's 'suspicious circumstances'. That's all they'll say. Creepy vibes.
Suspicious? As in murder? Or just some idiot doing dumb stuff?
ffs, I'm supposed to go camping there next week. Now I'm gonna be paranoid the whole time.
maybe don't go camping next to a lake where dead bodies show up lol
cope, I'm still going. Just not swimming.
honestly though, Lake Tekapo is gorgeous but it's always had a dark vibe. Remember that hiker who vanished years ago?
I heard that too. Place has a history. Wonder if it's a serial thing or just coincidence.
