A man in his 60s has died after falling five metres from a tree in Sydney’s Upper North Shore.
Ambulance crews and a Careflight helicopter were called to a home on Torokina Avenue in St Ives at midday on Wednesday.
Two people were performing CPR on the man when paramedics arrived but he died at the scene.
The man who died was reportedly having a ‘suspected medical episode’.
Pictures from the scene show a ladder leaning against tree, which is likely what the man climbed up before he fell.
