The body of a 52-year-old woman has been recovered in Perth’s south, taking the toll from a boating accident to two.

Police recovered the body on Sunday night near Creery Island in the Mandurah Estuary.

The family of the woman – identified by media outlets as Kylie Bazzo, the mother of West Coast Eagles AFL player Rhett Bazzo – has been notified as the investigation into the cause of the crash continues.

Bazzo, 19, was drafted with pick 37 in the 2021 national AFL draft. He played nine games last year in his first season with the Eagles.

The father of Bazzo and his sister Kameron, Swan Districts great Steve Bazzo, died of cancer in 2015.

“My family has given up a lot of things to make sure I can try and live out my childhood dream and I know my Dad would be looking down on me proud,” Bazzo said following his draft.

Emergency services were called to the estuary about 10pm on Saturday after a boat with four people on board struck a red post marker.

A 54-year-old woman was recovered from the water but could not be revived and died at the scene.

A 47-year-old man, believed to be the boat’s driver, was taken to hospital with serious injuries while a 54-year-old man was uninjured.

Emergency services continued to search for the missing 52-year-old woman on Sunday, finding her body about 7pm.

Assistant Superintendent Peter Morrissey said speed would be investigated as a factor in the crash.

“The speed and all the circumstances surrounding the crash will be at the forefront of the investigation,” he said.

“It is way too early at this stage to determine any sort of criminality or any sort of responsibility for this.”
