A 57-year-old man has been found dead in floodwaters on Queensland's Fraser Coast.
Emergency services were called to Smothering Creek at Boompa Road in Boompa, west of Maryborough, just after 11am.
Officers declared the man deceased upon arrival.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner, as investigations into the cause of death continue.
Circumstances around the man's death remain unknown.
Boompa Road recorded 148 millimetres of rain within 24 hours on Sunday.
A moderate flood warning is in place for the Mary River on the Fraser Coast.
The Bureau of Meteorology said showers and thunderstorms forecast for Monday afternoon could cause renewed river level rises.
Earlier this morning, Fraser Coast mayor George Seymour said the region's outlook had been "downgraded significantly".
“We’ll see the peak in Maryborough later this morning, towards midday, and it is quite a bit lower than some of the predictions we got from BoM.
“I think we’re over the worst of it.”
The man's death follows several swift-water rescue operations across the state since Thursday.
Six campers were rescued at Leyburn, on the Southern Downs, just after 11am today after two caravans became stranded by fast-flowing floodwater.
Two people were also rescued from flooded cars in the Southern Downs early this morning.
A woman was trapped in her car in Warwick about 3:30am. A second driver was rescued from nearby Rosenthal Heights half an hour later.
Damaging winds and flash flooding remain possible this afternoon in southern and south-east Queensland, with some storms potentially becoming severe.
