Police said her death is not suspicious.

"Police have spoken to Tea's family, and we extend our deep condolences to her family and loved ones," Queensland Police said in a statement.

The search for the 19-year-old was launched in the Flinders River area two months ago, as that's where her phone switched on briefly, days after she was last seen.
