Family and friends pay tributes to 22-year-old British tourist found dead after disappearance on the Gold Coast, Queensland
Police had urged the public to help locate Lewis Jack, aged 22, after he was last seen in the Queensland city of Surfers Paradise on Saturday night.
Officers confirmed on Wednesday the man's body was discovered around 7.40am on Tuesday.
His tragic death is not being treated as suspicious by detectives.
It is understood he had been intoxicated and fell into the water near the Isle of Capri and drowned, the Gold Coast Bulletin has reported.
Tributes have poured in from the 22-year-old's friends and family following the news, with Jack's devastated grandmother Margert Mooney remembering her 'beautiful grandson'.
'It is with a broken heart that I have to say my beautiful grandson has sadly been found,' Ms Mooney said in a Facebook post.
Another relative Sharon Smith shared the tragic update and said 'my heart is hurting'.
'His brothers and I are broken,' Ms Smith said.
Friends of the 22-year-old also took to social media to pay their respects, with one calling the shocking discovery of his body the 'worst news ever'.
'I can't believe that (I) am actually posting this,' Gemma Roberts said.
'You'll never be forgotten... forever 22 my boy.'
Another friend said: 'Such devastating news, rest in peace Lewis Jack."
Mr Jack shared moments of time spent abroad on his own Facebook page in the months before his death, posting pictures from recent trips to Thailand, Bali and Vietnam.

Why posting to your community social media page is not helping to solve crime
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Countless reports of crime are being posted to community Facebook pages every day where they rarely ever get seen by investigators, according to Crime Stoppers Queensland. A new campaign for Crime Stoppers Day is urging people to report their CCTV footage, eye-witness accounts and rumours of suspicious activity directly to authorities instead of posting on social media. "This year's campaign focuses on busting the myth that social media is the best place to raise concerns about crime and suspicious activity," Crime Stoppers Queensland chief executive David Hansen said. Crime Stoppers Queensland is urging people to report their CCTV footage, eye-witness accounts and rumours of suspicious activity to authorities instead of posting to social media. (Crime Stoppers Queensland) "Social media might alert your neighbours, but it does little to help police track down offenders, prevent crime or keep communities safe." Unconfirmed or inaccurate information can also be problematic. "Unverified posts can fuel fear, spread misinformation, and even lead to vigilante behaviour or the public shaming of innocent people," Hansen said. Hansen said if it was important enough to post on social media, it was important enough to report through the proper channels. "We're asking everyday Queenslanders to move from online commentary to real-world impact," Hansen said. "Whether it's a gut feeling, something you saw or something you heard - don't just talk about it online. "Take that extra step and report it to Crime Stoppers." In an emergency or if a crime is happening now, call triple zero. If you need police assistance, but it's not an emergency, you can contact Policelink on 131 444. Anyone with information about non-urgent crime or suspicious activity can contact Crime Stoppers Queensland anonymously at 1800 333 000 or visit . Reports to Crime Stoppers can be made anonymously and you will not be made to give a police statement or attend court. crime national social media queensland CONTACT US

Crime Stoppers warn of risk of vigilante reaction, other concerns on crimes posted to social media
Social media is littered with posts about crime. Facebook even has dedicated community-led groups for sharing information to warn others about local criminals. Perhaps you've joined one. But Australians are being urged to not only post about crime on social media, but to report it to authorities. Crime Stoppers Tasmania chair David Daniels said posting to social media provided a false sense of action. "Now that we're always online with our phones, it's easy to turn to social media to express our concern or warn others," Mr Daniels said. "But typing isn't telling, and if that information never reaches police, they cannot act. "So, while the social media may feel immediate and impactful, it does very little to help police track down the offenders or prevent crime or keep communities safe," he said. "The real action means sharing the information appropriately [to Crime Stoppers or local police]." Crime Stoppers is a not-for-profit registered charity, separate to police, that relies on donations to operate. It is based on a model that started in New Mexico in the United States in the 1970s when a detective ran out of all leads on a brutal murder case. The detective reportedly arranged for a local television station to show a re-enactment of the murder and invited viewers to call in with information anonymously and offered a cash reward if it led to an arrest. It started an anonymous 'tips line' that became Crime Stoppers and spread around the world. Often, alleged offenders are outed by the community "naming and shaming" them, but if that information is not passed on to authorities through official channels, police are usually unable to investigate. "We've had a man seen stealing tools from the rear of a work ute. Other people all post into a group who he is and where he can be found," Tasmania Police Commander Jo Stolp said. Recently, Tasmania Police have also seen social media posts about drug dealing near a park. "You've got people on camera from someone's CCTV coming and going, but without a report either to Crime Stoppers or to police, we can't follow that up," Commander Stolp said. There has also been unreported CCTV footage posted to social media showing a person stealing mail from someone's home, and someone claiming to have a picture of the suspect's face. "While it's good for people to know there is activity in their area, we like to be sure that it's actual activity, and that somebody is not necessarily being targeted unnecessarily," she said. Posting information about a crime to social media also carried its own risks, police said. Along with the possibility of spreading misinformation, posts could also incite vigilante responses. There was a chance the information or footage being shared was not really a crime at all, or could lead to the wrong person being identified as the culprit. Defamation lawyer Rowan Lyndon can attest to the impact of vigilante responses. Mr Lyndon said he was aware of at least one reported case, "where a person who was falsely identified online as a paedophile was physically assaulted". There was also the risk of legal action against people who make accusations online that turn out to be false or defamatory, he said. These can range from paying damages — sometimes amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars — to covering part of the claimant's legal costs, and even imprisonment. The 2024 Bondi Junction stabbings is one of the most recent cases to make national headlines. Within hours of the attack occurring, Benjamin Cohen was falsely named on social media as the assailant who killed six people at the shopping centre. Photos of Mr Cohen were taken from his social media accounts and circulated by other users along with his name. The unconfirmed reports were then broadcast by a media outlet. But while the information turned out to be false, by then the damage had been done. Mr Cohen later sued the broadcaster for defamation and received an out-of-court settlement. He also called on the NSW Police to prosecute the social media users who incorrectly identified him. Mr Daniels said in all of these cases, the "intent might be right, but the outcome isn't". To bring greater attention to this issue, Crime Stoppers has launched a nationwide campaign, Don't Just Post It, Report It! The campaign is urging people around Australia who see, hear or suspect criminal or suspicious behaviour to stop leaving vital information in group chats or social media threads, and start reporting it where it truly counts. People have the option of making an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers, directly contacting their local police station, or in an emergency, calling triple-0. "Crime Stoppers gives people a safe and anonymous way to speak up," Mr Daniels said. "You don't have to give your name or make any formal statement or even go to court. All we ask is that you share what you know, so it can be properly assessed and potentially linked to other reports and acted on by police.

Novelist vows to use TV royalties to fund Palestine Action
Novelist Sally Rooney has vowed to use money from the BBC to fund the proscribed terror organisation Palestine Action. Rooney said the police should investigate the corporations and the high-street stores that stock and promote her work if they believe she is committing an act of terrorism. Membership and support of Palestine Action, including funding, can carry sentences of up to 14 years in prison after the group was banned by the British government in July. The Normal People author made the comments in the Irish Times, noting that it would be illegal for her to publish them in a British newspaper. She said she felt compelled to publicly express her support after 'more than 500 peaceful protesters' were arrested for doing the same in a single day on August 9. Loading 'If this makes me a 'supporter of terror' under UK law, so be it,' she wrote. 'My books, at least for now, are still published in Britain, and are widely available in bookshops and even supermarkets. 'In recent years, the UK's state broadcaster has also televised two fine adaptations of my novels, and therefore regularly pays me residual fees. 'I want to be clear that I intend to use these proceeds of my work, as well as my public platform generally, to go on supporting Palestine Action and direct action against genocide in whatever way I can.
