Emergency services were called Isabella Falls in Edmonton, a 20-minute drive from the Cairns CBD, at 4pm on Sunday.

It’s understood the 26-year-old man was an international tourist visiting the country from Israel.

He had been climbing rocks at the waterfall, when he plunged to his death.

Queensland Ambulance paramedics performed CPR on the man but he could not be saved.

It’s the third death in less than two years at popular multi-tiered waterfall.

Christian Laska, 17, fell to his death there in December last year, while a 19-year-old Cairns woman died in May 2022.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

His death is not being treated as suspicious.
