MELBOURNE, Australia—A man fell to his death from a hot-air balloon Monday as it passed over suburban Melbourne, Australia’s second-largest city.
The hot-air balloon took off from Melbourne’s northern suburbs early in the morning and was in the air for about 30 minutes before the man fell from the basket.
