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.

I can't believe I've never seen this as a headline before. Has it mostly been suppressed in the past? The article itself acknowledged that EMTs have certainly seen skydiver deaths.

If you've seen one you've seen them all

Well, except for this one, apparently
