Body of 15-year-old boy swept off rocks found during police search.

A tragic discovery has been made at a beach in New South Wales, where the body of a 15-year-old boy has been found. This comes after a distressing incident where the boy, Luca Bennett, was swept off the rocks by a large wave. Along with two other boys, Luca was knocked into the ocean at North Avoca Beach on Christmas Eve. While the other two boys were able to make it to shore, Luca unfortunately did not resurface.

As soon as the alarm was raised, police and surf life savers worked tirelessly to search for Luca, despite the difficult conditions with choppy surf. The search continued throughout Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but sadly, it wasn't until this morning that the boy's body was discovered. Emergency services were called to the beach at midday after reports of the tragic find.

According to the authorities, there is now a mission to recover the body, which they believe to be that of the missing boy. Luca's mother, Michelle Bennett, took to social media to share the heartbreaking news. In a statement, she wrote, "Our beautiful Luca J has been found." She also mentioned that dolphins had been circling the North Avoca rocks since early in the morning, and it was the ocean that eventually brought Luca's body back to the surface.

Michelle expressed her gratitude towards the rescue teams, including surf clubs, police, marine rescue, and paramedics, for working tirelessly to retrieve Luca's body. She also thanked their family, friends, and the community for their love and support during this difficult time. The news of Luca's passing has left many heartbroken, and the community is coming together to offer their support and condolences.
