Police initially told media the 18-year-old had been found alive; however it was later confirmed she had died.
NSW Premier Chris Minns had also announced that Hooper had been “found alive”, saying she had been located in the bush with “half a bottle of water with her”, before correcting the statement a short time later.
“I’ve got some terrible news,” Minns said.
“I apologise to the committee, but it seems as if the early advice was wrong.
“Lily’s body’s been found and she’s been found deceased.
“I only raise that because I made the earlier advice and I’m very sorry for that.
“This is obviously devastating and I’m just profoundly sad for her family and all those concerned.”
