Sadly, a 31-year-old man has died after a rock climbing incident at Buckland, in the state's south, on Tuesday afternoon.
Police and emergency services were called to Sand River, Buckland, about 1.20pm after reports a man had fallen about 20m from a cliff.
Police believe the man, a French national living in Victoria, was rock climbing with a friend when he fell.
The man was flown to the Royal Hobart Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter in a critical condition, but died a short time later due to his injuries.
A report will now be prepared for the Coroner.
Our thoughts are with the man's family and friends at this difficult time.
