The body of 18-year-old Lily Hooper has been found in bushland in New South Wales, Australia, eight days after she went missing during a hike in Nattai National Park.

Hooper left her home in Sydney on August 12 to go for a walk in the national park but failed to return by 22:00 that night, prompting her family to report her missing.
