As seen at the scene, a number of fire trucks and ambulances drove to the Lion Rock Park, and personnel immediately climbed the mountain for search and rescue.
The helicopter of the Government Flying Service hovered over the top of Lion Rock, and used large lights to search for the missing man suspected of falling off the cliff.
However, due to the dark environment on the mountain after nightfall and the surrounding darkness, the rescue operation was quite difficult.
At about 10 pm, search and rescue personnel found the man who fell from the cliff on a slope of Lion Rock, but he was already dead.
