Detectives investigating the deaths of two people whose bodies were found in Gordonbrook Dam in remote Queensland on Saturday do not believe the deaths are suspicious.

Post-mortem results and extensive investigations indicate no other persons were involved in the deaths, police said.

One of the two bodies was identified by police as 51-year-old Darryl Smith.

The Kingaroy man was found floating in the Gordonbrook Dam in South Burnett, bound to the body of a woman.

A group of mates on a boys weekend were camping on the banks of the dam when a kayaker found the bodies about 3.30pm on Saturday afternoon.

Camper Gene Knight said the kayaker told them what he'd found.

"He said, 'I just found two dead bodies up there'," he said.

"It's pretty chaotic."

Investigations are continuing and police will prepare a report for the Coroner.
