It’s been confirmed that a man pulled unconscious from the water at Penrith Weir last weekend has died.
About 10.45am on ANZAC Day, emergency services were called to the Penrith Weir, following reports of a drowning.
Officers attached to Nepean Police Area Command were told a 38-year-old man, since identified as William Davis, was rescued by members of public, while a 14-year-old boy was brought to shore by Fire and Rescue NSW.
They were both treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before the man was taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition.
The boy was taken to Nepean Hospital as a precaution.
A crime scene was established, and police commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Earlier today, police were notified the man had died in hospital.
It is understood Davis, known as Wombat, was placed into an induced coma but brain activity never returned.
