Police have recovered the body of a man who died in the Colo River in Sydney's north west.
Emergency services were called to the river near Grassy Hill Trail at Colo Heights at 7pm on Saturday following reports a man had disappeared under water.
NSW Police have been told the man, believed to be aged 41, was with five other men on separate inflatable lilos when he became wedged on a large submerged rock about 1pm.
The other men were uninjured and alerted authorities.
Paramedics were winched into the location, and the man, who was still partially underwater, was declared deceased.
Due to the terrain and fading daylight, the recovery operation was suspended just after 8.30pm, and recommenced at 10am on Sunday.
The man's body was recovered by Police Rescue and the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter at about 11.50am on Sunday.
He is yet to be formally identified and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
