The suspected remains of a WWII airman discovered in a jungle region of Papua New Guinea have turned out to be the moss-covered branches of a tree.
Hikers on the country's Kokoda Trail found what appeared to be the remains of a parachutist tangled in wires and dangling in a tree two weeks ago.
Australian and Japanese forces fought several battles in the area in 1942-3.
The Australian military sent a team to investigate the "body" only to discover it was a branch tangled in vines.
