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

A 17-year-old girl fell off 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 resurface, emergency services said.

Police said the boy, an acquaintance of the girl, also went missing.

A search and rescue operation found the girl’s body about 3.30pm and divers recovered the body of the boy at about 7.30pm.

Wappa Falls remains closed amid a police investigation and officers were set to prepare reports for the coroner regarding both teenagers.
