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.

“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.
