Lake Hauroko. The search for two missing boaties on Southland's Lake Hauroko has been suspended for the night after a body was found. The search began after police were informed late on Friday that a boat and two people were missing on Lake Hauroko, the country's deepest lake. Police said a search was begun with a local operator on Saturday and a body was found about midday near Teal Bay at the southern end of the lake. A police spokeswoman said the search had now been suspended for the night, but police would reassess in the morning, depending on the conditions.
