MAN DIES AFTER FALLING FROM THE FOURTH FLOOR OF A NEWCASTLE BUILDING

A man has died after falling from a balcony in Newcastle’s East last night.

Emergency services were called to a Scott Street apartment block at around 8:30pm to find the 37-year-old on the footpath below.

Paramedics performed CPR on the man for more than half an hour, but he couldn’t be revived.

Police believe he fell from the fourth floor of the building, opposite The Station, and are treating it as misadventure.
