The 59-year-old crashed a Toyota utility about 5.30pm on September 22, after it left Range St and hit a fence.

Police said the driver’s friends helped to remove the ute from the ditch and the 59-year-old man returned to his home.

The man’s body was discovered at home the following afternoon after a friend raised the alarm.

Emergency services were called to the property, but the man could not be revived.

Police said a post-mortem will determine the cause of death.

A report will now be prepared for the coroner.
