An Australian diplomat has died after falling from a New York City balcony while socialising with friends.
Julian Simpson, 30, accidentally slipped from a seventh-floor ledge of his Manhattan building and fell to a landing on the second floor, New York police said.
US media report he was playing a "trust game" with a friend before he fell.
Mr Simpson was a junior diplomat representing Australia at the United Nations.
Police were called to the scene about 01:00 local time on Wednesday (06:00 GMT). Mr Simpson was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
