Man found dead in Tweed River

A MAN'S body has been discovered by fisherman in a river in northern NSW.

The 35-year-old Tumbulgum man's body was spotted by the anglers about 400 metres upriver from the Tumbulgum Bridge, in the Tweed River, about 1.30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday.

It's believed the man was fishing before his death, police said.

A car and fishing gear believed to belong to the man were discovered on a nearby road.

Inquiries into the man's death have begun but police aren't treating it as suspicious.

They are preparing a report for the coroner.
