A Gold Coast weatherman has pulled a lifeless body from the rough Queensland surf moments after a live cross.<\/p>\n
Luke Bradnam was reporting the dangerous conditions at Narrowneck Beach for Nine News on Friday evening when he said a swimmer told him he had seen someone struggling in the water.<\/p>\n
Just after I got off air chatting with you guys a boogie boarder just behind me here alerted me here at Narrowneck, alerted me he thought hed seen someone struggling again out in the surf, Mr Bradnam told Channel 9.<\/p>\n
The weatherman said he immediately stripped down and rushed into the water with the other swimmer to help but unfortunately it was too late.<\/p>\n
When we got close it became pretty evident that there was a body floating in the water, Mr Bradnam told Nine.<\/p>\n
The body is believed to be a British national who had moved to the Gold Coast from the UK and had been missing since Thursday.<\/p>\n
The body however has not been formally identified.<\/p>\n
The discovery of the body at Narrowneck came after a woman in her late 20s was found unresponsive on Kurrawa beach about 10.15pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The woman and the British national were initially seen going into the ocean at Old Burleigh Rd, Broadbeach, about 9.20pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.<\/p>\n
Several beaches are closed on the Gold Coast due to dangerous conditions and swimmers are reminded to stay between the flags.<\/p>\n
