Mystery surrounds the discovery of a man’s body covered in blood in secluded bushland near a popular waterhole in Sydney’s south-west. 

Emergency services were called to Greengate Reserve on Woolwash Road in Airds shortly after 5pm on Tuesday following the grim discovery.   

The body of a man aged in his 20s was found at the scene and couldn’t be revived. 

Police are trying to ascertain whether or not his death was suspicious.

‘Police established a crime scene and investigations commenced into the circumstances surrounding the man’s death, which remains unclear,’ a NSW Police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia. 

Footage showed multiple police and ambulance vehicles driving in and out of the bushland beyond the quiet suburban street. 

Emergency service responders had to use 4WD vehicles to access the remote location and recover the body.

The site borders The Woolwash – a secluded stretch of bushland along the Georges River known for its rugged trails, steep gorge and hiking trails. 

Ambulance vehicles are pictured driving along a trail road near Georges River in Airds on Tuesday evening following reports a body had been found

Paramedics are pictured at the mouth of the access road on Tuesday night

A crime scene has been established at the site where investigations into the circumstances surrounding the death are ongoing 

A sign beside the road warns visitors the water quality is not suitable for swimming.

A report will be prepared for the coroner as inquiries continue. 

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
