They were reportedly taking turns jumping from the bridge – a spot where police have repeatedly asked people not to jump from.

He completed one jump and returned to the bridge for a second attempt.

But he lost his balance while crossing the railing and struck his head while falling down into the water.

After he failed to get out of the water, his friends started a frantic search before contacting the emergency rescue services at 1am.

A GoFundMe page says Mr Christian “was in a happy place smashing life with his Aussie tribe and his loving girlfriend, Becca”.

It said: “He passed happy and loving life and always living up to his motto ‘here for a good time not a long time’.”
