A body believed to be that of a missing walker has been found in the wilderness on Tasmania's west coast.
Searchers from Ambulance Tasmania and the State Emergency Service found the man's body off the summit track at Frenchmans Cap on Saturday.
Police and rescue crews were called to the mountain, in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, following reports a walker failed to return to camp as planned on Wednesday.
Police said it appeared the 28-year-old Hobart man died as a result of injuries sustained in a fall.
"The man's family has been notified, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time," a Tasmania Police spokesman said.
Police thanked those involved in the search on Friday night and Saturday, as well as the walkers who alerted police about their concerns for the man.
