A tragic accident occurred in Prambachkirchen, Upper Austria, on Tuesday afternoon when a 64-year-old man fell to his death while picking fruit in his garden.

The man had climbed onto a two-meter-high platform using a wooden ladder to harvest fruit.

Unfortunately, the wooden railing surrounding the platform broke, causing him to fall.

His wife quickly called emergency services, but the paramedics could only confirm his death upon arrival.

This incident highlights the dangers associated with home gardening and the importance of safety measures when working at heights.
