A man killed by a falling tree near the New South Wales town of Canowindra is understood to be the father of murdered teacher Stephanie Scott.
9NEWS understands Robert Scott's body was located this afternoon, after emergency services were called to a farm on Namami Road to reports a man aged in his 60s had died.
It is believed Mr Scott went out to collect firewood yesterday and did not return home.
