Coast body search
PA Greymouth Police are waiting for suitable tides and weather conditions to search the beach at Perpendicular Point on the GreymouthWestport highway for the body of a Timaru man believed to have plunged about 150 m to his death in his car last month. A Greymouth police spokesman said last evening that some searches had been made in the area but
conditions were very difficult and the weather was not suitable for a more detailed examination of the beach. The police believe that Cecil Stanley Paul, aged 75, was in the car when it left the road and went over the cliff sometime between April 23 and 27. The car was wrecked. The police think that Mr Paul’s body was washed away by the tide.
