A suicide note has been located after the bodies of a young girl and her father were pulled from the Parramatta River on Saturday.
The six-year-old may have been deliberately thrown in the water by the man from a hired boat in what police believe was a horrific act of domestic violence.
“We have uncovered a suicide note and some other evidence drawing us to this conclusion,” NSW police marine area commander, Supt Joe McNulty, told 2GB radio on Monday.
Officers were called to Hen and Chicken Bay at Concord, in Sydney’s inner west, at about 11.45am after reports of a man’s body floating in the water.
A boat owned by a member of the public was used by police to retrieve the 47-year-old, but he was unable to be revived.

Police used CCTV images of the incident from a nearby home to help divers locate the girl’s body.
The man was not known to police and had no recorded history of domestic violence, leaving police with the difficult job of unravelling what occurred.
“We really need to make sense of this, because it is a complex investigation,” McNulty said.
McNulty said officers were immediately suspicious as to the circumstances of the incident because lifejackets were on board the boat but had not been used.
“It just didn’t stack up,” he said.
