Must read

Police have found the body of missing central Victorian farmer and former real estate agency owner, Patrick Connally.

The body of the 74-year-old was found near his car on a property at Goldie, north of Melbourne, on Sunday.

The grandfather of five had been missing since May and was last seen driving a 1994 white Toyota LandCruiser with a full tank of petrol.

His family raised the alarm after he failed to return home from his daily routine of checking on his farm at Baynton. 

He had not used his bank accounts or mobile phone and required medication daily.

Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious and a report would be prepared for the coroner.

Officers thanked the communities of Heathcote, Lancefield, Goldie and Kilmore along with the media for their assistance during the ongoing search.
