The tragic death comes after several warnings from police against jumping from the bridge.
Despite warnings that jumping from the Sound Bridge could lead to serious injuries, it remains a popular tourist activity.
Now-retired Master Sergeant Peter Feldman previously explained what makes the activity so risky.
“They are not only risking their own lives, but also those of people passing by in boats,” he said. Noosa News.
‘It is a crime to jump from certain structures and they are breaking the law.
“It is not the height of the bridge that makes it dangerous, but the way they can fall.
“It only takes a fall of a couple of meters to seriously injure someone.”
Paramedics attended the scene at around 1.15am but could not find the man. Police divers discovered his body around 6am.
