Schoolchildren looked on with horror when an abseiling instructor fell to his death in caves as police launched an investigation.
The victim, a 53-year-old man, is understood to have had more than 25 years’ experience and was a “well respected” member of the caving community in Margaret River, Australia.
He had been leading a group of 15-year-old schoolkids on Thursday in the Brides Cave in Boranup when the tragedy happened.
