An Australian man has reportedly died on his descent from the base camp of Mount Everest.

The Melbourne man had reached Mount Everest’s base camp – a 5300 metre ascent – when he became ill last Thursday night, according to The Age.

It is believed he was with three other Victorians when they started their descent back down the mountain on Friday morning, but the man died on the way down.
