A tradesman has tragically died while working on a house in Sydney’s south-west end.

Emergency services were rushed to the home on Jet Place in Eagle Vale after it was reported a man was electrocuted on a roof about 10am on Tuesday.

A New South Wales Police spokesperson said officers arrived shortly afterwards and found the 29-year-old man dead at the scene.

Paramedics and firefighters tried to revive him but were unsuccessful.

A crime scene has been established at the house and a report will be prepared for the coroner.

Friends of the deceased told Daily Telegraph who was the father of two small children.

A spokesperson for SafeWork NSW told Daily Mail Australia it could not provide further information on the matter because it involved a private job and not an official workplace.

Dozens of emergency services personnel remained at the scene until late in the afternoon while investigations into the death began.

Police officers were seen standing on the roof of the house and photographing a section from which tiles appear to have been removed.
