Body of missing Air New Zealand pilot found

Hong Kong Police have located the body of Air New Zealand 777 First Officer Steve Morrissey, who had been walking in the Pat Sin Leng County Park.

For the past seven days, police, fire service and volunteer search and rescue personnel, as well as Air New Zealanders, members of the public, friends and family have searched a large area of the park.

In a statement, Air New Zealand CEO Rob Fyfe said, “We all remained hopeful throughout that Steve would be found alive.

“Sadly that hope has not been realised, but it is with some sense of relief that Steve has at least been found and we can bring him home.”
