Victoria Police say a deceased male was found in Walhalla on Sunday morning. Detectives believe it is Geoffrey, the 76-year-old Warrnambool man who vanished on November 4 around 6pm. A spokesperson said the body is yet to be formally identified, and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
The death is not being treated as suspicious. Geoffrey was last seen on Church Road in Walhalla on Wednesday evening, and police understood he was touring the area's historical sites. Walhalla is a former gold-mining town north of Morwell in Gippsland.
Family raised the alarm quickly, telling police his disappearance was out of character and that a medical condition made them worried. Geoffrey's surname has not been released.
The discovery lands about an hour's drive from Cowwarr, where a separate search is still running for a missing 17-year-old boy. Police have drawn no link between the two cases.
