Detectives are investigating after a skydiver was found dead in the front yard of a residence near an airpark in Florida, authorities said Saturday.

A man outfitted in parachute attire and gear was located just before 12:30 p.m. on the lawn of a home in Titusville, about 50 miles east of Orlando, police said in a statement. The Titusville Fire Department responded and said the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police on Monday identified the victim as 69-year-old Frederick C. Morello, of Ormond Beach, CBS affiliate WKMG reported.

    Living his life to the fullest, why not skydive if you’re physically/mentally well at 70? Not like you have a lot left to live for that you need to be risk-averse

        We all die, you have the choice of it being potentially sudden during an activity or prolonged on a hospital death bed
