Overland Track Death

Does anyone know anything about the death of a male person on the Overland Track yesterday ?

Apparently this occured on the southern section, towards lake St Clair.

I haven't read about any deaths this July. Only a few rescues.
Crazy keen tramper / trekker / hiker. Former South Australian. Now, exploring the tracks around Melbourne and Victoria.

I believe there was definitely mention of a body at Derwent bridge area on the police scanner but I am not aware of the circumstances.
