A Man Has Died Amid Severe Flooding In Sydney New Evacuation Warnings Have Been Issued

A man has died after his kayak capsized in Parramatta River amid severe flooding in Greater Sydney. Per The Guardian, New South Wales police said emergency services were called to Parramatta River off Abbotsford Parade in Abbotsford this afternoon, after a boat was spotted capsized and a man was seen struggling in the water. A member of the public tried to help the man and attempts were made to revive him before emergency and rescue services arrived. The man died at the scene. “Police are conducting inquiries to identify the man and will prepare a report for the coroner,” police said. The devastating news comes after tens of thousands of Sydney residents have been told to evacuate their homes, as the city prepares for torrential rain and flash flooding, which is expected to persist until Tuesday 5 July.
