The teenager who fell to his death at Perth's Serpentine Falls at the weekend has been identified as German tourist Ulrich Helmet Ditzel.
The picturesque Serpentine National Park waterfalls, about 50 kilometres south-east of Perth, have claimed at least a dozen lives over the past 40 years.
Mr Ditzel, 19, fell 12 metres to his death on Sunday while attempting to navigate the rock face.
He was attempting to find a lower ledge to jump from about 2.15pm, when he hit a wet patch and slipped, according to WA Police spokesman Gerry Cassidy.
Friends and onlookers pulled the teenager out of the water and tried to administer CPR, while they waited for St John Ambulance to arrive, Sergeant Cassidy said.
He could not be revived and was declared dead at 5.50pm at Armadale Emergency.
It is understood the Mr Ditzel, who has a Shenton Park address, was at the falls with two friends.
His next of kin in Germany have been notified.
A 21-year-old woman was killed after falling 20 metres to her death from the Serpentine Falls cliff face in 2011.
In 2007 a 27-year-old Beaconsfield man died after smashing his head on rocks while diving into the water.
Following the 2011 tragedy the State Government pledged to conduct a risk assessment of the popular summer spot.
