THE body of missing Australian soldier Paul McKay has been found in the mountains in upstate New York.

The body of the Canberra man, who was 31, was found near the summit of Scarface Mountain in Ray Brook, New York and his parents have been notified, said police chief Bruce Nason, reports The Adirondack Daily Enterprise.

The discovery ends a two-week search for the Afghanistan war vet, who was suffering post-traumatic stress and was on leave from the Australian Army.

US authorities had been searching for the missing solider in dense forest in upstate New York, and also monitored airports in New Jersey and Los Angeles in the hope that he would arrives for his flight back to Australia.

McKay sent an email to his father on December 30, saying that he was leaving all of his possessions to him.
