Gold Coast man Gable Tostee has been found not guilty of murdering Wellington woman Warriena Wright.
After a trial in the Brisbane Supreme Court a jury of six men and six women have just returned a verdict.
They have found Tostee not guilty of murder and the lesser charge of manslaughter, which was also an option for them.
Tostee and Wright's families were both in tears following the verdict.
Wright's family embraced tearfully in the courtroom.
Tostee also embraced his family and shook hands with his legal team.
Tostee then left the courtroom to another room with his family. He has not yet left the court building.
The jurors have been deliberating since early Monday afternoon on whether Tostee murdered Wright in August 2014.
Tostee and his lawyer have just appeared before media in front of the courthouse.
Tostee said nothing but his lawyer said his client was "looking forward to getting on with his life".
Protestors have gathered outside court yelling "stop violence against women".
9 News reporters are speaking outside the court about how hard it was for the family of Wright to hear details of what happened the night the 26-year-old died.
"They wanted her remembered as they do - as a beautiful, bright spark."
9 News reporter Michael Best said Wright's family is expected to leave the court soon.
Best is speaking to a lawyer outside the courthouse, who said the jury had found Tostee wasn't responsible for Wright's death.
"It's as simple as that."
Tostee and Wright had connected on dating app Tinder and hours after they met in person Wright died after plunging from Tostee's 14th floor apartment balcony.
Tostee pleaded not guilty to murder.
