"A teenager missing in the Blue Mountains for two days was killed in a rockfall just hours before his five companions were rescued.
Police Rescue, using a PolAir chopper, winched the body of bushwalker Nick Delaney up from the place where he died in the Blue Mountains yesterday. He was brought back to Mount Wilson shortly after 2.40pm.
Detective Inspector Mick Bostock confirmed that preliminary reports suggested the boy’s death was the result of a rockfall yesterday - two days after the group went missing.
‘‘We have second-hand information to that effect,’’ he said from the search headquarters at Mount Wilson today.
‘‘Our detectives intend to interview the other canyoners later today.’’
A police rescue officer and two specialist parademics spent last night in rugged bushland north of Wollangambe Canyon after Nick's five companions were rescued yesterday afternoon.
The group of six had been missing since Tuesday evening after they failed to return from a day-long canyoning trip near Mount Wilson."
