    Australian diplomat dies in New York after falling from balcony 'during trust game'

    By North America correspondent Stephanie March
    Updated about an hour ago


    An Australian diplomat has died after accidentally falling from his balcony in New York City while drinking with friends.

    Key points:

    Julian Simpson died after falling from his Manhattan apartment's balcony

    Mr Simpson had been drinking with friends when he lost his balance

    Reports suggest he was playing a "game of trust" when he fell

    Julian Simpson, 30, the second secretary to the Australian Mission to the United Nations, died in the early hours of this morning when he fell from a 7th floor balcony to a 2nd floor landing at his apartment on Clinton Street in Manhattan, a NYPD spokesman told the ABC.

    Investigators said he, his wife and several friends had been drinking when Mr Simpson sat on the balcony railing and accidentally lost his balance.

    US media are reporting Mr Simpson was playing a "game of trust" with a friend when he fell.

    Police have not confirmed specifics but said those at the gathering told investigators Mr Simpson "liked to play games".


    Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Mr Simpson's death was shocking news.

    "It is a tragedy, our hearts go out to his family but I can't provide any more details at this stage," he told Channel Seven.

    "It's a shocking tragedy, a young life lost."

    Police said Mr Simpson had been in the US for two years.

    A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson said DFAT is providing consular assistance to Mr Simpson's family.

    "The family has requested privacy at this time," the spokesperson said.

    An Australian diplomat has fallen to his death from a Manhattan balcony after a night out with his wife and friends.

    Julian Simpson, 30, died when he slipped over a railing at his Lower East Side apartment just after 1.40am, a New York Police Department spokesman confirmed to Fairfax Media.

    He was Australia's second secretary to the United Nations and based in Australia's permanent mission to the United States in New York.

    The NYPD spokesman said a group of about 10 people had gathered at Mr Simpson and his wife's apartment at 19 Clinton Street after a night out for dinner and drinks.

    "Upon investigation, it was determined that ... he sat on the balcony railing and lost his balance and fell off," the spokesman said.

    "No criminality is suspected at this time and the investigation is ongoing."

    I can't be the only one out here, I'm just not. Don't worry about it. Mind your fucking business.

    I am not sure if that is his account, as there is no mention of UN work.

    Guess it's safe to say he can't trust those friends.

    That game sounds about as fun as my dad.

    I remember when I was a wee one in girl scouts, they had a trust building exercise where a girl would stand on a high platform and fall backwards. The other girls would all catch her. I was the only one who didn't do it so yeah, I have trust issues apparently.
