Man drowns after fall from rocks

A man has drowned after slipping from rocks during a snorkelling trip to Cape Nelson
in Victoria's far southwest.
It's believed the man, 68, had been snorkelling near the Cape Nelson lighthouse with
a 38-year-old man and two 17-year-old boys when he slipped and fell about 3.15pm
(AEST), Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen said.
"The 68-year-old man slipped from the rocks, hit his head and was knocked
unconscious," Mr Mullen told AAP.
The 38-year-old man entered the water to try to rescue the older man.
Both were plucked from the water by a passing crayfish boat, Mr Mullen said.
"They performed CPR on the man on the way back to Portland," he said.
"They met the water police on the way to port, and one of the police officers
continued CPR but the man died."
The 38-year-old man was uninjured.
Meanwhile, State Emergency Service members climbed down the rocks at Cape Nelson to
rescue the 17-year-old boys.
They were taken to Portland Hospital suffering from shock and exposure, Mr Mullen said.
The relationship between the four people is unknown.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
