Heartbreaking find during search
Police have launched an investigation after a man's body was found in bushland in southwestern Sydney as part of a three-month search for a 20-year-old who went missing from Ingleburn.
In March, police began investigating after Jayden Harwood, 20, went missing and launched a public appeal for information.
His mother previously told Nine News that the father-of-two was last seen on Sackville Street on March 1 after staying at his girlfriend's parents' house.
His mother, Alanai-Brie Wallace, said that in her family's final conversation with him, he said that he had been attacked and was trying to get back to his girlfriend's partners' home.
'I need my son back, I need my baby back,' Ms Wallace told Nine News earlier this month.
'I need to know what's happened, why he's not here.'
On Saturday morning, police and SES found a man's body while searching bushland near Ingleburn.
'During the search the remains of a man suspected to be that of the 20-year-old were located,' NSW Police said in a statement.
Police are yet to positively identify the man and are attempting to determine the cause of death.
Police have launched Strike Force Devon to investigate the incident.

Kenyan dies in custody after arrest for online post
Kenya's independent police oversight body has launched an investigation into the death of a man who had been detained "for false publication", the police have said. Albert Ojwang was arrested in the western town of Homa Bay and then driven 350km (220 miles) to the capital, Nairobi, his father Meshack Opiyo told journalists. "While in custody, the suspect sustained head injuries after hitting his head against a cell wall," a police statement said. He was rushed to hospital "where he was pronounced dead on arrival". The director of the Kenyan branch of rights group Amnesty International told the BBC that the death of Mr Ojwang, described in reports as a teacher and blogger, was "very suspicious". Amnesty said in a statement that his death "raises serious questions that must be urgently, thoroughly, and independently investigated". Senior police officer Stephen Okal is quoted by the Star newspaper as saying what happened in the cell was "an attempted suicide". It is not clear what the charge of "false publication" referred to, but Mr Opiyo told online news site Citizen Digital that the arresting police officer said "Albert had insulted a senior person on X", the social media platform. Referring to the circumstances of his arrest, Amnesty International Kenya director Irungu Houghton said it was "quite shocking" that Mr Ojwang was not booked in at the local police station after being detained, but was instead taken on a long journey. He called on the independent investigators to secure what he described as "the crime scene" at the police station in Nairobi. The police said that Mr Ojwang was "lawfully arrested". His detention and death comes at a time of rising concern about how some government critics are being treated. Last week, software developer Rose Njeri - who created a tool to help people oppose a government finance bill - was charged with violating a cybercrime law.
