A man who slipped off the edge of a waterfall in Australia died at the same spot which claimed the life of a Leicestershire traveller 12 years ago.

Paul Marshall, 27, of Hinckley, was swimming in a rock pool close to the edge of Wentworth Falls, in Sydney's Blue Mountains, when he fell and died on December 10, 2000.

A 20-year-old British backpacker died after he fell 300ft from the same spot on Sunday.

Mr Marshall's father, Doug, of Burbage, yesterday said: "My heart goes out to the people in his family."
