A young lifesaver has been found dead after disappearing while going for a swim two days ago.

The 18-year-old, from Marcus Beach on the Sunshine Coast, was last seen entering the water with friends at Buddina Beach at about 4:15pm on Wednesday.

It’s understood he went for a surf before a scheduled lifesaving training session.

Friends raised the alarm when he didn’t return to shore and a major search operation was launched.

Later that same day, his friends were able to recover the teen’s surfboard, which showed no signs of damage.

Queensland Police confirmed the teen’s body had been pulled from the water around 6pm on Friday.
