Young bushwalker dies at the Sentinels

POLICE this morning reported the death of a young bushwalker in the South-West National Park beyond Maydena.

"Sadly, a young man has died while bushwalking at Sentinel Range, near Strathgordon," a police spokesman said.

"Police believe the 19-year-old from Hobart fell from height during a bushwalk yesterday."

The teenager’s family raised the alarm last night, after the experienced bushwalker failed to return home from a day trip as planned. The Westpac Police Rescue Helicopter flew to the incident site last night and a ground search and rescue team was also deployed.

Weather conditions overnight forced the helicopter to return to Hobart about 2am. The air search resumed in the early this morning, with the helicopter crew locating the man’s body shortly before 9am.

Police offered their condolences to the young the man’s family and loved ones.
