A man believed to be in his thirties has died after being pulled out of the Hawkesbury River in Sydney on Christmas Day.
At about 5:15pm, emergency services responded to a report that an unconscious man had been retrieved from the river at Windsor Bridge in the city’s northwest.
Paramedics could not revive him, and his body was then removed from the scene by an air ambulance helicopter.
“NSW Ambulance paramedics treated a man, believed to be in his thirties; however he died at the scene,” NSW Police said.
Officers are investigating and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
This is the second tragedy to strike the area in a matter of weeks.
Earlier this month, a 16-year-old boy went missing from Windsor Beach on the Hawkesbury River. A body was subsequently found after an extensive search.
