The daughter of a Victorian man who died after falling from a shipping container at Outer Harbor early on Sunday morning has told of her heart break.

Melbourne man Troy Kellett, 43, died after falling several metres from a shipping container at a business on Coghlan Rd about 12.30am on Sunday.

Mr Kellett’s daughter Demi Deksnis took to social media late on Sunday to express her despair.

“R.I.P dad. My heart’s broken,” she said.

“I keep thinking your (sic) gonna pull up in the drive way any minute now.

“Thank you for always being the best man in all our lives I couldn’t of (sic) asked for a better dad.

“You deserved the world and more and I’m so sorry it all got taken away from you so soon. I wish it didn’t have to be this way.

“I will look after the boys for you and make sure little man knows he had the best dad. Love you always.”

Police are not treating Mr Kellett’s death as suspicious. Officers responded to reports Mr Kellett had fallen several metres from a container about 12.30am Sunday.

They provided first aid before Mr Kellett was pronounced dead.

In a statement on Sunday, police said two men had been arrested at the location and charged with firearms offences “unrelated” to Mr Kellett’s death.

They were charged with possessing an unregistered firearm and possessing a firearm without a license and refused police bail to appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday.
