A YOUNG teenage boy attempting to graffiti a Southern Expressway bridge in Adelaide's south-west has fallen to his death early this morning.
It is understood the youth slipped from a narrow ledge on the side of the bridge, falling on rocks in Christies Creek below.
The body was discovered by a pedestrian walking along the Morphett Vale creek about 8am (CST).
Police say a backpack containing spray cans was recovered from the scene.
Inspector Stephen Howard appealed for witnesses to come forward.
"It's not just about the graffiti, it's about public safety," he said. "These bridges are not built for people to climb on."
"It's a tragedy for him and his family."
