A report online today:
Two men died when their cattle mustering helicopter crashed on a remote station in Western Australia's rugged Kimberley region on Sunday.
Police said the men, whose names have not been released, were contractors mustering cattle by helicopter at Yakka Munga station, about 70km south of Derby.
They were the sole occupants of the helicopter which crashed at 0935 (WST).
"We don't know the exact cause of the crash at this stage, whether it was pilot error or mechanical failure, but we've got people looking at the site right now," Derby police constable Sid McLean told AAP.
He said police were told of the accident by the pilot of a second helicopter which had also been mustering cattle in the area.
It is believed the men died on impact.
Investigators from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau would travel to the accident site in the next few days and forensic police were also at the scene, Constable McLean said.
