A 19-year-old Canadian woman has been found dead, with her body surrounded by a pack of dingoes on a popular Australian beach, according to local officials.
The body of the tourist, whose name has not been released, was found around 06:30 local time on Monday (20:30 GMT on Sunday) on the beach on K'Gari, an island off Australia's eastern coast, Queensland police said in a news release.
Two men driving along the beach spotted a pack of about10 dingoes around an object, which they realised was a woman's body, police inspector Paul Algie told local media.
Police are investigating the incident, but cannot yet confirm whether she died from drowning or from being attacked by the animals, he said.
However, Algie said there were markings on the body "consistent with having been touched and interfered with by the dingoes".
