A young girl is missing and her father is dead following an incident involving a hire boat on a busy Sydney waterway.
As of Saturday afternoon, police were scouring a stretch of the Parramatta River, desperate for any sign of the girl who they say is seven years old.
The girl's mother and wife of the man was notified and was assisting police with their efforts.
Police were called to Hen and Chicken Bay in Concord in inner-west Sydney about 11.45am on Saturday following reports a man was floating in the water and believed to be dead.
Officers boarded a member of the public's boat and pulled the man from the water, providing first aid, but were unable to revive him.
