A teenager and a man have died in two separate falls over the weekend in Queensland.
On Sunday, at about 6.30pm, emergency services responded to reports of a man who fell 15 metres down an embankment of Coomera River, near Riverbreeze Crescent in Maudsland.
It is believed the 18-year-old was using a rope swing from a rock embankment before the incident happened.

Per 9News, authorities are treating the death as a non-suspicious accident.
