New Zealand police have confirmed a body found in the Waikato River in the city of Hamilton is that of Australian tennis coach Paul Arber.
The positive identification was announced on Friday morning.
"A post-mortem examination conducted since the recovery has indicated there are no suspicious circumstances in relation to Mr Arber's death and the matter has been reported to the coroner," Detective Inspector Karl Thornton said.
"Paul's parents, Sam and Richelle, have been informed of these developments and are understandably very upset and we would like to express the condolences of the New Zealand Police to them, Paul's wider family and friends."
Mr Arber's body was found by a team of rowers from Hamilton Girls' High School near the Fairfield Bridge on Thursday morning.
The 38-year-old from Melbourne was last seen by the river in the early hours of Sunday morning.
He had been in Hamilton with a large group of children for a tennis tournament.
Police say he was exhibiting behaviour best described as being out of character shortly before he disappeared.
