A man’s body has been found in a public park in Cairns.
It is understood a dog walker found the young man unresponsive at Manoora’s Murray St Park sometime before 10.30am on January 1.
Police attended the scene but were unable to confirm the victim’s age.
A police spokesman said the man’s death was not being treated as suspicious.
The tragedy comes after the death of a 10-year-old Rocky Point boy on January 1 after he sustained injuries in a car accident two weeks ago.
A Biboohra woman also sustained critical injuries during a house fire about 7am on January 1.
The woman was taken to Cairns Hospital where she remains in a critical condition.
