A 21-year-old man who was out in the
middle of the night hunting geckos to feed a pet snake has died after falling
45m down a disused sewer shaft in Sydney.
The Daceyville man's body was recovered this morning from the former
sewerage outlet below a Malabar headland in Sydney's eastern suburbs, police
said.
Inspector Eddy Bosch said the man and his mate had been out collecting geckos
in the area about 2.45am (AEST) today when one of them fell about 45m down the
shaft leading to a former sewage outlet.
They have walked past a cement structure which had a door in it, Insp Bosch
told Southern Cross Broadcasting.
One of the fellows has gone through that door and stepped into the structure
and has unfortunately stepped into a disused shaft and he's fallen down that
shaft.
A report on the man's death will be done for the Coroner.
