Police have identified the man who died last week in the River Findhorn.
Laurence Henderson was kayaking on the river on December 30 when he fell into the water after getting into difficulties.
The body of the 54-year-old from Aberdeenshire was pulled from the water at around 9am on Hogmanay.
A report regarding the death was submitted to the Procurator Fiscal as is standard practice in these circumstances.
Rescuers were called out at about 12.30pm on December 30 but struggled to reach or communicate with the man in the stormy conditions and were forced to call off their efforts at about 5pm as coastguard teams realised it would be impossible to reach him while the river was flowing so high.
It is understood that Mr Henderson was in a party with a group of experienced kayakers, who sounded the alarm when he encountered difficulty.
The River Findhorn has developed a fearsome reputation over the years following a number of accidents along its fast-flowing waters.
Earlier this year a teenager died at Randolph’s Leap, six miles south of Forres, after attempting to swim across the river.
The 19-year-old’s body was later found at Findhorn Bay.
And a 39-year-old man died after plunging into the river at Randolph’s Leap two years ago when he lost his footing and fell from a ledge.
In July a female holiday-maker was winched more than 200ft to safety from a gully along from Randolph’s Leap when a white water rafting expedition went awry.
