The 26-year-old man from Lomaiviti had fallen more than four metres from a building, Television Tonga quoted Deputy Police Commissioner Tevita Vailea as saying.
It is unknown whether the deceased was pronounced dead at the scene.
His death came after a man previously killed after becoming trapped in a shipping container at the wharf in 2018.
In that incident, the deceased was allegedly crushed between two containers.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
