A man, 42, leaving for his permanent residence in the United Kingdom fell three floors from an escalator and died at Brisbane International Airport, Australia. The fall appears to be unsuspicious, but police say that it could be alcohol-related. However, this is unconfimed as the story unfolds in Breaking Brisbane Queensland News.

Authorities in Australia are awaiting details from the coroner's report after the death devastated the airport staff. The name of the passenger has not been released by the airport authorities.

The passenger in question disembarked from his flight and was on his way to the United Kingdom when the tragic event took place. He was flying in from Biloela in central Queensland and was due to catch a connecting flight, say Brisbanenews outlet Brisbanenews.com.

Officials in Australia said that the deceased was on his way to board a flight the same night. TV footage from CCTV shows that the fall was an accident.

The Brisbane Airport Corporation said airport traffic was unaffected.

Australia's Federal Police have arrived on the scene and cordoned the area marking the fall.

Various reports from the Courier Mail, Brisbane News and other local Brisbane newspapers suggest that police have handed over a report to the coroner and are awaiting an investigation by the coroner before the dead body is handed over to relatives or authorities in the United Kingdom.
