As announced by Dailymail on Monday, 23rd January 2023 the remains of Dale Nicholson were found in a submerged car by the team of Downunder Divers.
The police stated, “Formal identification is yet to occur. A report will be prepared for the coroner.”
The coroner stated there could be multiple reasons behind Mr. Nicholson’s tragic death.

A possible explanation behind Mr. Nicholson taking his own life is that he was a patient with extreme depression and had been receiving treatment since 2010.
In 2016, Dale was last seen leaving his home to get breakfast and a newspaper after returning from a trip.
The family of Dale reported him missing on December 11, 2016. The police prepared and conducted an extensive search in the surrounding area but couldn’t find any clues or remains that could lead to the conclusion.
The man was driving a blue Ford sedan 35 km northwest of Hobart before he vanished without leaving behind a single trace. A report was published in 2022 that claimed that Dale Nicholson had died, with the cause of death unknown. The report had no authentic resources.
According to the family, the man had a good relationship with his late mother and three sisters. Mr. Nicholson’s friends also claimed that a sudden disappearance is not something one can expect from him.
According to the diver group that found the remains, the car was found by a sonar in the river with fishing nets in it.
