A man who had been missing for thirteen days was discovered dead in northern Queensland, according to the police. The man’s body was discovered in the region. There had been thirteen days since the man had been seen. Scott Billingham, who was 38 years old and had been missing from Mackay since March 8, was identified as the person whose body was found on Thursday afternoon, according to the announcement made by the authorities.
A missing person report had been filed for Billingham on March 8th. An official from the Mackay Police Department stated that the body was discovered on Thursday morning near McCreadys Creek, which is located in the Andergrove district of Mackay.

Following the completion of the investigation, a report will be created for the coroner to review. It was noted by the official spokeswoman that “police investigations are still ongoing,” and as a consequence, anyone who is in possession of any more information is highly requested to get in touch with the security professionals.

Senior Sergeant Chris Eaton stated that there were significant worries surrounding his well-being after being questioned about his health the day before. They were concerned about his health.
“We certainly know that Scott’s disappearance is out of character — he is not doing the things that he would ordinarily do, he is not accessing the things he would ordinarily access,” he stated during an interview with media representatives. It has been reported that the police would move to create a command post at Emperor Drive in Andergrove on Friday afternoon.
The purpose of this action is to request additional cooperation from the general public in relation to the investigation. The police have stated that this is the case. The last time anyone saw him was on March 8th, when he was attending social activities at the Andergrove Tavern. People did not see him again after this point in time.
He was dressed in a beige pair of boots, blue utility pants, and an orange long-sleeved high-visibility shirt. His wardrobe consisted of these items of apparel. That was the point in time when he had just concluded his workday.
At approximately 5:10 o’clock in the evening, he left the establishment, and it is thought that he was disposed off in the vicinity of a small group of businesses that are located on Emperor Drive. His departure occurred at the establishment.
