A report is being prepared for the Coroner after a man was found dead on a bush track near Cessnock overnight.
The 44-year-old man was riding his quad bike with friends on the Boundary Fire Trail about 2 kilometres from Wollombi Road at about 11.00pm on Tuesday when he became separated from the group.
They mounted a search when they realised he hadn't kept up with them and found him lying beside his bike, which was still on it's wheels with the motor running.
Police believe he died as the result of a medical episode.
