Man dies after cliff-jump at popular Perth swimming spot

A 30-year-old man has died after cliff-jumping about 10 metres from a swimming spot at the Swan River, in Perth’s south-west, yesterday.

Police said the man, believed to be from the town of Harvey, jumped from the rocks at Blackwall Reach in Bicton about 4pm.

He initially resurfaced and was later pulled from the water unconscious by friends.

Emergency services took the man to Fiona Stanley Hospital, but he died soon after.

A report will be prepared for the Coroner, police said.
