A man's body has been found off Western Australia's south coast in the area where a fisherman was washed out to sea.
Police said a body had been pulled from the water near Albany on Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours after a 30-year-old Afghan national was swept off rocks at Salmon Holes, a notoriously dangerous fishing spot.
Police are yet to formally identify the body.
