Two teenagers have died after an accident at a waterfall on the Sunshine Coast.

A 17-year-old girl fell from a waterfall at Queensland’s Wappa Falls about 2.30pm on Sunday and a 17-year-old boy jumped into the water to help her when she did not surface, emergency services said.

Police said the boy, an acquaintance of the girl, also disappeared.

A search and rescue operation found the girl’s body around 3:30 p.m. and divers recovered the boy’s body around 7:30 p.m.

Wappa Falls remained closed amid a police investigation and officers were required to prepare reports for the coroner on both teens.
