Man dies in bridge jump

A man’s body was recovered Sunday morning after he died while jumping off a bridge at Noosa Sound in the early hours of the morning.

Queensland Police said the man failed to resurface after he jumped into the water off a bridge at Noosa Parade.

Police divers found the man’s body after a search operation was launched.

Officers were called to the Noosa Sound Bridge about 1am following reports a man jumped from a ledge and failed to resurface.

“A search and rescue operation was launched with police divers locating the body of the man around 6am,” police said.

Police said the man was a visitor to the region but have not released his identity.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

The bridge attracts both visitor and local thrillseekers jumping off into the Noosa River.

Noosa Council has posted signs on the nearby Garth Prowd Bridge warning of the dangers of jumping from the bridges.
