WA man dies after his car gets bogged

A man has died in the far north of Western Australia after his vehicle got bogged on his property and he tried to walk home in hot weather.

The 45-year-old's body was found on his remote property in the Dampier Peninsula on Tuesday.

His wife called police on Monday, and said she hadn't seen or spoken to her husband for about 10 days.

"It is believed that the man has become bogged on the track, he has left his vehicle and attempted to walk home in the heat, approximately 6km away," WA Police said on Tuesday.

"WA Police are urging members of the public who are travelling in remote locations by car to stay with their vehicle if they become lost or incapacitated for some reason."

Police and the man's co-worker had to use a quad bike to access the area, after they were unable to navigate the water-logged track.

There are no suspicious circumstances, police say.
