Police confirm human remains have been found in South Australia's lower south-east near where a Victorian snorkeller went missing last week but forensic testing has not yet been carried out.
Police on Tuesday said a member of the public had found human remains at a beach area off Finger Point Road in Port Macdonnell. A forensic examination of the remains has not yet been completed but Craw’s family has been notified of the discovery.
His stepsister, Andrea Hamblin, said in a statement posted on Twitter that the family would be bringing him home to Warrnambool in Victoria.
“It brings us comfort to know that he would have passed away peacefully in the water,” Hamblin said.
“While we may never know for sure, based on the evidence we do have, we now believe it is most likely Duncan suffered a medical episode long before the arrival of the shark.

Duncan Craw, a father and husband, went missing off the South Australian coast last week. Search teams uncovered a damaged wetsuit and flippers on Friday morning, suggesting a shark was involved, according to reports.
