New Zealand Kills another Flying Dutchman
Posted by te2ataria on November 10, 2009
Michael Joseph Rozijn, 29, a young father from Holland, was killed after falling 60 meters onto rocks
It’s believed that Mr Rozijn was killed after falling from a tree branch onto rocks below at a cliff near Tapeka Pt, north of Russell in the Bay of Islands early Saturday morning.
“All we can say is that he has fallen and by the time the emergency services had located him he was dead,” Senior Sergeant Peter Robinson of Kerikeri police said.
Mr Robinson said the incident occurred early on Saturday, however paramedics got to him just before midnight on Saturday, a St John Ambulance spokesman said.
It’s not known why it took the police and paramedics so long [nearly 24 hours] to get to him, or whether Mr Rozijn’s life could have been saved had they got to him earlier.
Mr Rozijn leaves behind a wife and a young child.
