A man has died after falling from the sixth floor of a harbourside apartment at Kirribilli in what police are calling an awful incident

Neighbours heard a woman's screams seconds after her husband fell to his death from the sixth-floor window of a harbourside unit at Kirribilli on Monday.

The woman ran to a lodge across the road, crying as she begged someone to help revive her husband.

She just said he fell off the window. She just like shock, really scary, like shaking

She told staff at Glenferrie Lodge that her husband was cleaning a window in their Carrabella Street unit when he fell and landed in the car park below about 8am.
