Queensland police officer Scott Duff’s death not being treated as suspicious as colleagues in mourning

The ‘out-of-character’ disappearance of Scott Duff sparked a massive search before his body was found.

Queensland police are “deeply impacted” by the death of a “highly regarded” officer, as it’s revealed the tragedy is not being treated as suspicious.

The body of Senior Constable Scott Duff, 50, was found in the Cairns area on Tuesday morning after he disappeared more than a week earlier.

“The far north police community has been deeply impacted by this loss, particularly those who knew and worked with Scott during his many years as a highly regarded police officer,” Assistant Commissioner Brett Schafferius said in a statement.

“Our officers are being provided with a range of support services as they come to terms with this terrible news.”

Duff was last seen walking in Edmonton on the afternoon of April 8.

His disappearance sparked a massive search as officers on the ground combed through bushland near the area where their colleague was last seen, with drones and rescue helicopters also being used.

Police launched an appeal for public assistance in the search, asking people to check their dashcam and CCTV footage in Edmonton on the day Duff went missing.

His disappearance was described as “out of character”.

The precise location of the discovery of his body has not been revealed.

Police are preparing a report for the coroner.

In a statement confirming “with great sadness” the death of Duff late on Tuesday, the Queensland Police Service urged people to contact mental health support services Lifeline or Beyond Blue “if you need help”.

“Our thoughts are with the senior constable’s family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time,” the statement read.

The Queensland Police Union posted that officers playing in the Queensland Police Service Rugby League State Championship in Mackay have worn black armbands and “paused in sacred silence to honour” their colleague.

The union been contacted for comment by 7NEWS.com.au.

If you need help in a crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Col N Ann Kelson

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

As I understand, I have three major issues.

The cancer, the COPD, and the damage to the lung from the two resections, from radiation and from partial collapse of the lung which leaves me susceptible to infection.

When a good infection hits, I am in trouble with my breathing.

This time around I am in trouble with pneumonia in the top lobe of the stuffed (left) lung.

Hoping that the IV antibiotics are/have done their job and I can be paroled for my daughter’s wedding on Friday.

Condolences to Ann, Robert, Christine, Catherine, family and friends.

Talking about come backs, what about the 19 or so Golden Oldies, all Navy or ex-Navy, who took on the youth of our service. The Golden Oldies at times needed help just getting on the paddock but displayed fine skills and straight running. (Let’s face it, it’s further running across field). Up front the team was led by the irrepressible WOPT Bill Stokes and Barry Learoyd who, along with Neil Thompson, played strongly.

Benny Hill and Jimmy Fern also showed the touches that took them to ASRU honours.

But the player of the day was Col Kelson, an ex E.R.A. (ask an old chief what that stands for). He hadn’t pulled on a boot for 11 years and took the field at 46. Col played in the centres and there were certainly some sore opponents, I for one would loved to have seen a young Col going round.

Well done.

HUGE WINS MARK SAILORS RETURN TO 1st DIVISION

RUGBY DOWN SOUTH ‘

After an absence of some years, there is once again a NAVY side in First Division Victorian Rugby Union.

The CERBERUS team, playing as Combined Services Thirds, are playing in the Third Grade of the First Division.

The other representative team, the CERBERUS COLT’S are playing as Combined Services Under 20s.

Combined Services Firsts and Seconds are made up from all three services in the Melbourne area and players from LONSDALE and ships in Williamstown make up NAVY’s contribution.

Two resounding victories, plenty of tries, enthusiasm and team spirit have marked the opening of the season.

On April 12, the sailors trounced the strong KIWIS’ line-up 38-13.

Fine individual performances were produced by fullback John Worstencroft and centre Col Kelson.

Chris Fraser

In the early 70s at a Sheffield Shield match at the SCG, Sgt 3/c Bob Lenton and I had the honour of accompanying Sir Donald Bradman out to the pitch during the lunch break. The Don took out a stump and played one of his shots, to the roar of the crowd. We then walked with him to the newly built Sir Donald Bradman Stand for the official opening.

Good bloke, Bob.

RIP, mate.

Coffs Harbour says goodbye to a top cop

TREVOR Walter has spent time in the company of many a violent criminal but it’s a love of motorbikes that has this police officer resting his feet.

TREVOR Walter has spent time in the company of many a violent criminal but it’s a love of motorbikes that has one of Coffs Harbour’s longest serving police officers resting his feet.

He’s eager to enjoy his recently announced retirement as soon as possible but with a fractured leg – sustained just before Christmas when his bike landed on him – the well respected Detective Senior Constable has some time to reflect on a job well done.

The true country boy still smiles when he remembers the fresh-faced 18-year-old who headed for the big city in the late 70s.

After finishing high school in the Orara Valley, Sen Const Walter thought he might try his hand at paint work but, as his mother blatantly pointed out, he wasn’t…well…very good at it.

When the police recruitment van rolled into town, she gently suggested he might like to check it out and before he knew it, Sen Const Walter was headed for the academy in Sydney.

The learning curve was steep for a teenager who had never ventured far from home but by the time he returned to Coffs Harbour – where he has served for 33 of his 37 years in the force – he had developed a rare set of skills.

A never failing empathy for victims of crime and the ability to carry them through a tedious legal process allowed him into the lives of countless people and eventually led to him receiving the Commissioner’s Award for outstanding victim support in 2011.

The knowledge that he was living in a country area where everyone, including the criminals, knew who he was and where he lived, never really troubled him.

As he has told the many fresh recruits he has mentored over the years, “if you are hard but fair” and treat others with respect, you will get by without too much opposition.

With the birth of his children came a new set of challenges.

While he was lucky enough to have the kind of personality that allowed him to switch off when he got home, there were unavoidable emotions stirred when tragedy struck a family which he could compare to his own.

His eldest daughter was five when a local boy of the same age was killed after his head was crushed by a telegraph pole as he leant out of a bus window to wave goodbye to his friends.

A double fatality at Bonville, which claimed the life of a 16-year-old girl, the age of his daughter at the time, also hit hard.

“Those are the things that are very sad and remind us how lucky we are that our family is safe,” Sen Const Walter said

“I never lost sight of that fact.”

Mixed with the tough tasks were major achievements.

Sen Const Walter and another officer once arrested the state’s most wanted man, prison escapee Anthony O’Sullivan, who was discovered with a $64,000 stolen boat in tow and went on to serve a lengthy prison sentence.

In 2001, he risked his life to rescue a woman from a burning home in Karuah Ave.

For that, he was awarded the Bronze Medal for Bravery from the Royal Humane Society and the Commissioner’s Commendation for Bravery.

To this day, when the woman sees him down the street, she still hugs him and thanks him for saving her life.

More recently, Sen Const Walter had the satisfaction of watching as a disgraced member of a local surf lifesaving club, whom he had been investigating for a number of years, was convicted and sentenced to a significant time in jail over the persistent sexual abuse of a young girl.

There are the troubling cases, which he refuses to allow to haunt him, but admits will always remain strong memories.

He has few regrets but if he could have solved one more case before he left, it would have been the 1990 murder of 92-year-old Veronica Rigney, who was viciously clubbed for no apparent reason in her Hill St home, just near the police station.

Sen Const Walter was on duty that night and interviewed Mrs Rigney in hospital where she later died.

He’ll also miss his second family – both sworn officers and support staff (many of whom celebrated Sen Cost Walter’s career at a farewell party on Thursday night) – but he’s hoping that when the new justice precinct is open, he may just “be invited back for a cuppa”.

This article and historic pictures from Det Sen Const Walter’s career can be viewed on the Advocate website.
