    The body of a man last seen jumping off a bridge into croc-infested waters has been recovered following an extensive search and rescue operation in the Darwin Harbour.

    Local man Brendan, 55, disappeared after jumping from the Channel Island Bridge. 

    Police say he was reportedly with workmates when he jumped off the bridge into the water at 9:42pm on Friday. 

    They said he was initially laughing but suddenly began drifting away. 

    There were strong tidal currents and Brendan appeared to struggle before disappearing from view. 

    Despite efforts from his friends to encourage him back to shore, Brendon was last seen in the middle of the channel, heading toward Darwin City. 

    The search and rescue operation commenced after his friends lost sight of him and continued until the early hours of Saturday morning. 

    NT Police Search and Rescue Section, a Careflight helicopter and the Port Authority assisted in the search.

    A body similar to the description of Brendan (pictured) was discovered on Saturday morning

    The coordinated effort included two helicopters, two NT Police vessels, Surf Life Saving crews, NT Emergency Service volunteers, Crocodile Management teams, and NT Police officers conducting foot patrols along nearby coastlines.

    His body was sighted in the water near East Arm Wharf about 11.30am on Saturday. 

    NT Police said the body matches the description of an individual who was last seen entering the water about 9:40pm on Friday. 

    Formal identification is yet to be completed.

    Last year, authorities launched a rescue operation on Channel Island, after he became stuck in the mangroves.   

    Police received reports a man had become trapped in the mangroves, approximately 700metres from the nearest main road. 

    Due to the shallow water levels, rescue crews were unable to reach him by boat.

    Instead, officers deployed a jet ski to navigate the difficult terrain and were able to reach the man and bring him to shore. 

    Brendan was with workmates when he jumped off the Channel Island bridge and vanished

    Upon recovery, the man was reportedly disoriented and showing signs of delirium, believed to be the result of extreme dehydration. 

    He was immediately transported to Royal Darwin Hospital for medical treatment.
